In owners' own words
While attempting to operate the sunroof on my Kia Telluride, the sunroof mechanism failed and became completely stuck in the open position. The sunroof will not close, bypass, or reset, leaving the cabin fully exposed. Upon inspection, it appears the internal mechanism arms or wind deflector components have failed/broken, which prevents the glass from sliding forward back into its sealed, closed position. Electrical system
The instrument panel that displays the mileage, and other things you can select with the mode such as tire pressure, fuel economy, range remaining on the tank of gas goes blank. The main instrument panel display randomly goes out from the moment it starts to the end of that drive, most of the time it works but some drives it's completely blank the entire time, rather you restart several times or not.

I just purchased my car on 7/15/21. While driving today my lcd screen on the dashboard goes black after the system check. I can not see any function on my vehicle ie, milesâ¦system setting, fuel etc. this screen is a necessity to Operate this vehicle. While looking online many telluride customers are experiencing the same issue and there has been no remediation from Kia Electrical system
