2019 Kia telluride S starting issues

[phylly]

Our 2019 Kia Telluride S suddenly just started having troubles starting out of the blue, it shakes and won't start on the first click, but usually starts after a few. It happens in all weather, with premium gas, and regular oil changes. Local mechanic got absolute nothing. Any help please?

A dealer diagnostic might catch something more specific with Kia's system, better visit one asap. Its too broad of an issue, there could be a ton of potential causes from spark plugs to ignition coils.

It could be that your Telluride's just trying to get your attention LOL. Thins like this happen out of the blue and you just gotta think it's something you did, but sometimes, it's a factory defect that just came to light especially for a relatively new car. It could be the starter? Maybe check the battery terminals and starter relay first before spending more.

Haha, love the humor in that reply. You've definitely got a valid point. Random problems like this can be super frustrating, especially with a newer vehicle. I'd approach it the same way, start by checking the battery terminals, the starter relay, and maybe even the ground connections. Did your mechanic happen to run a scan for any stored codes, even if there aren't any warning lights? Sometimes those little clues are tucked away in there.
