| 2019 Kia Sedona SX MISSING Safety Features | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Cjm2kand1 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, Love the YouTube channel! Thanks for defending the little guy. Here is my issue. We bought a 2019 Kia Sedona SX new from the dealer. After almost two years of ownership it became apparent the vehicle's features were not operating as the window sticker and website stated. I was able to confirm via self diagnosis and Kia Service Center diagnosis that the features below were never enabled from the factory -High Beam Assist (HBA): Auto adjusts the high beams based on road conditions. -Driver Attention Warning System (DAW): Monitors your drivin ... | |||||
| 2011 Kia soul - replacing coils like crazy | 26Relevance | 6 years ago | LJLaValle | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I purchased a 2011 Kia Soul about 4 years ago with about 89,000 miles on it, and about every 6 months, I've had to replace a coil. So far, I've replaced all 4 coils. Granted, I have about 160,000 miles on it now, but it seems that coils should last at least 200k. The first time I purchased a coil from Kia it was over a hundred bucks, but thankfully, the subsequent coils were purchased from the internet for next to nothing. Have you heard much about this being a problem with Kia souls, or any other Kia? Thankfully, it's a 5 minute jo ... | |||||

| Kia Sportage Trade | 15Relevance | 5 days ago | r2hirst | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I currently have 2022 Kia Sportage with 49500 miles on it. I am considering trading this in next spring for a Subaru Crosstrek hybrid. My reasoning for this is my daughter will need a car for her student teaching in a couple of years. I will drive this for a few years and give her this Subaru that will be about 2-3 years old with 25000 miles on it. My dealer suggested that I will get a better value for my Kia if I trade it in before 60K. Would it be wise to make the trade or keep the Kia? | |||||

| Given Hyundai/Kia's very spotty (to be kind) reliability history, it's a roll of the dice at best. Many experience early mechanical failure - they are cheaper for a reason. We even have a special topic for Hyundai/Kia vehicles: | |||||

| Seems there are several possibilities with your Kia. NTSHA complaints; Looking under the Technical Service Bulletin tab (TSBS, upper right on that page) shows 4 are electrical. Don't know whether these are serious issues or 'my radio doesn't work', might be worth a look. | |||||

| Buying a 2023 Kia Sorento? | 15Relevance | 2 years ago | Heb | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My son intends to buy a used Kia Sorento from a Kia dealer with 36,000 miles on it. From watching your videos I would think that this would be a mistake in terms of parts failing somewhere beyond 80,000 miles. Do you think that buying this Kia will end up being a big problem down the road? | |||||

| According to the Kia parts catalog: 2. Upstream sensor: Kia 39210-2G240 (replacement DENSO 234-5714) Downstream Sensor: Kia 39210-2G260 (replacement DENSO 234-8030) Before purchase verify this yourself too! Besides, have you looked at OBD live data to determine they have actually failed? These are state of the art sensors (one is not oxygen but AFR) that are also reliable and tend to last - I doubt they're your problem. | |||||

| Kia doesn't offer a decent powertrain in the US, it's all 1.6 T-GDI and 2.5 T-GDI with complex electronics and drivetrains. They're genuinely bad in the US. None that I can think of in the US. The closest car to being decent that they sold in the US is out of production and there's no info on the the gen's reliability | |||||

| KIA dealership needed 2.5 months to diagnose bad battery | 22Relevance | 3 years ago | Biggie17 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scottie, I have a 2021 Kia Sorrento with around 37k miles. I purchased this car in July and it broke down around September 16. Lights would come on but no start. I had to tow it to the dealership. The back log of repairs was so big that a tech wouldn’t be able to diagnose it until October 8th!!!!! Of course all their loaners were gone, and a Kia customer rep advise me to rent a car and that Kia would refund me the money I spent. I finally get an update, my battery failed the battery test and needed to be replaced so the tech could keep on diagnosing. The ... | |||||
