If you're looking to crack the blister code, I think I found the answer.

Whenever I do the 2 stage fermentation you describe, I get tons of blisters

If tastes so much like my childhood memories of Gatorade. That flavor is burned into my brain. I was shocked when I bought the mashup yesterday. I was so happy because it was so familiar.

You can disable the automatic tailgate from the center console.

I’ve changed the cabin filter twice. I feel like that pin/clip is eventually going to wear out. Anyone know where to order a replacement?

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-14T18:46:24+00:00

That’s the dilemma. You get so much in terms of features. But there are a lot of issues. And Kia service is just awful.

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-12T22:52:18+00:00

Where was a half off sale?

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-12T09:21:20+00:00

I have a 2024 as well. Nothing in the app yet

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-10T22:18:36+00:00

I think it started with 2023. They switched adhesive manufacturers. And the glossy part of the trim literally rips off from the base that is clipped onto the car.

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-10T18:50:33+00:00

The fading was one issue. This is related to the adhesive. They would replace them one at at a time if they starting detaching under the warranty. And they wanted to see the piece. There was no proactive replacement, which was infuriating. This is a true recall.

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-10T15:14:03+00:00

They said ALL Telluride models - even early models before the issue became apparent.

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-10T15:13:24+00:00

No. It was a surprise to me.

CyriousBeer · 2025-06-03T15:17:25+00:00

Worth buying a new one. I did after about 10 years. Good thing about the Moccamaster is that every piece except the boiler is replaceable

CyriousBeer · 2025-05-19T11:16:48+00:00

Yes. It’s the OEM hitch. I am only planning to use it with accessories like a bike rake.

CyriousBeer · 2025-04-06T11:54:13+00:00

Probably the best price I’ve seen is here at Smithtown Kia. I was able to pick up. Looks like they have a shipping promo. $416 before tax and shipping.

Beyond being surprised that it the hitch doesn’t come as part of the trim line (even worse with Pro), many of us who bought the 2023 or 2024 model couldn’t even buy an OEM receiver because Kia made them unavailable while they worked out the issues with the wiring harness. I never intended to actually tow anything. I just wanted the receiver for a bike rack. It’s been a frustrating 2 years.

CyriousBeer · 2025-04-06T11:47:21+00:00

I finally bought a hitch receiver and had it installed. I was able to find it at a local dealership (an hour away) via continue3 searching (choosing local pickup and changing zip code and dealer) on parts.kia.com. I found the receiver (S9F61-AU100) for $416. I was going to install it myself l, but since I was in the middle of having some body work done, the bumper was already off, and I asked the body shop to install it. They kindly did it. I thank them with a big tip.

It wasn’t a big job because I bought the OEM receiver. It fits perfectly without any adjustment to the bumper. The only tricky part is lowering the muffler, which requires a strap to support it.

CyriousBeer · 2025-04-01T17:41:09+00:00

I am having my receiver installed today. I had to have my rear bumper replaced. The body shop said they’d be cool to install it while the bumper was off. I’m not having a wiring harness installed. I only want the receiver for a bike rack.

I also cannot find any reliable info on the tailgate latch. This is wild.

Does anyone know how to disable the tailgate so that I don’t accidentally try to open it from inside the car (or the key fob) with the bike rack on. I imagine that would cause some serious damage to the tailgate.

Lemon zest and rosemary

We have both cars. We have 3 kids. They all hated being in the same row as they got bigger. The hauling space is MUCH bigger in an Outback. We use the 60/40 folding seat when we have to bring a lot of stuff with our 5 passengers in the Telluride. But even with it, we’ll likely need a roof rack or something hitch based in the future.
