What Owners Say
"Window moldings started to discolor. Like the black is coming off the moldings."
Anonymous, TX (2021 Kia Telluride EX 3.8-L V6)"The nightfall trim on the Telluride becomes tarnished and dull. The issue is all over the facebook groups for the car. This didn't happen on my 18 year old Honda Odyssey. Some have had the trim replaced under warranty only to have the problem come back soon after. My dealership showed me polishing chemical I could buy and apply to get rid of the tarnish and restore the original finish. Clearly Kia did not pick an appropriate material for this finish."
