Please help! my 2021 Telly S model won’t start, I get an error “Check ESC“. Has anyone had this problem? I will say that for the past few days I got a warning that “battery discharge due to external electrical devices”. At the time I didn’t know what that meant but I think it’s because I had a GPS plugged into the cigarette lighter. It was unplugged a couple of days ago so why still a problem? I did try to turn ESC off per instructions from owners manual but system was unresponsive.
I feel like the battery isn’t dead but….could it be? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Will be calling roadside assistance in the morning, don’t know what else to do. So glad I’m home and Telly is in the garage.

My car is doing this too. It’s at the dealership and they can’t figure it out. Has anyone gotten theirs fixed?

Having the same problem now. Won’t go out of accessory mode and will not turn all the way off, but also engine will not start. It is saying check ESC. Hoping jumping it works.

Hello. I own a 2021 Kia Telluride (purchased Sept 2020) and experienced the same issue with the engine not turning over and the ESC light coming on. Did anyone get an answer to the problem from a dealership?

Hello. I own a 2021 Telluride and just experienced this same issue of the engine not turning over and the ESC light activating. Did the dealership uncover the issue for any of you?

I am having the same issue with my 2020 telluride. So frustrating I've had so many issues with this car before it even hit 60,000 miles. My ESC light has come on three times now I waited a couple minutes tried to turn the wheel a little, and finally got it started, but I'm afraid to drive it around any longer. can anyone advise?

Yes, jumpstarting the car worked but only temporarily. The next day, same issue of not turning over.

Similar issues with my 2020. First time wouldn't start and said "key not detected". Had it jumped, drove it to dealer...they couldn't find anything. Second time wouldn't start and said "battery discharge due to external electrical devices". Had it jumped again...drove to to the dealer. They still couldn't find anything. Today wouldn't start and said "check ESC". This time didn't get it jumped. Had it towed as is to the dealer and am waiting now. Uughh!!! I feel like jumping the battery and driving it to the dealer is giving the battery just enough charge that it's checking out okay once they check it. Has anyone had any resolution to these issue?
