YES
I thought I was the only one here… the Telluride has this as a known issue and Kia said they will do a one-time replacement of those steering wheels under warranty. I have the issue in my SX and the dealer refuses to replace it because “the Telluride uses different leather” - which simply isn’t true.
I have a steering wheel cover on my car with 9k miles. It’s insane. It’s the primary reason I won’t be leasing another Kia when I return this one.
