| KIA dealership needed 2.5 months to diagnose bad battery | 22Relevance | 2 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 ... | |||||

| Vehicle info: 2017 Kia Optima plug-in hybrid 77000 miles. Maintenance up to date Last September, I was driving my Kia down down an on ramp and suddenly I heard a loud bang under the hood accompanied by a sudden loss of power. I immediately pulled over and as I was coming to a stop, I heard a second bang and saw the hood paint start to bubble. Within seconds, flames began to pour over the windshield and through my ac vents and across the dash. I jumped out and took off running. The maintenance was up to date and this occurred without warning. I wanted to ... | |||||
| Here's why people defend Hyundai/Kia | 22Relevance | 4 years ago | FJCruiser2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... thoughts on Hyundai/Kia. On a different forum someone was asking about mechanical opinion on a Kia vehicle which I responded to along with including a link from this forum about the issues with these brands. Someone came responding defending these brands and all the so-called arguments used were exactly the marketing tactics of Hyundai/Kia so I thought it was interesting/worth to post it here. As I always say some people their brain is in their eyes and what they see, not the reality. | |||||
| Answer to: New Kia Sportage opinions | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| From the standpoint of someone who owns a 2023 Kia Stonic LX and drives a 2021 Kia Niro LX - No the US-spec 2023 Sportage (LWB, 2.5 GDI, A8MF1) does not make any sense. It only make sense to buy a Kia when it is either significantly better, cheaper, or simpler than its Japanese competition. Get familiar with your warranty terms to not lose coverage, Replace the engine oil every 5k-7.5k miles, Replace the transmission oil every 30k-37.5k miles, Perform any additional maintenance as recommended by the owners' manual. | |||||
| RE: Best Brands of Oxygen Sensors for 2005 Kia Spectra5 Hatchback? | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You're welcome, we're here to help as much as possible! You should be able to find online sources selling the OEM sensors for less than you'll pay at the local stealerships. According to the Rockauto database, the "actual OE" downstream sensor is Bosch #13461, and upstream sensor is NTK #23404, but you may want to verify that on a Hyundai/Kia enthusiast site. | |||||
| Answer to: How long will my Kia last? | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What will be your advice on when I should start looking for a new one based on historical averages for Kia Rio from 2010? It’s never a bad idea to start looking for a replacement for a 175,000 mile Kia vehicle. At the very least, have a short list of vehicles that could hypothetically replace the Kia; the last thing you want is to be scrambling when your vehicle suddenly fails on you and the cost of repairs don’t justify keeping it. | |||||

| I just looked up your car on NHSTA and it is included in the list of recalled Kia vehicles which can stall or catch on fire assuming yours caught on fire for the same reason as indicated in this link. I guess Kia isn't only bad with quality, they're bad when it comes to customer service and taking responsibility too. | |||||

| ... fluid frequently (and the filter if it's easily accessible) and it should be great.-The 2.4 engine wasn't offered on car you uploaded a picture of, that's only the previous generation. I'm familiar with the old Hyundai-Kia 2.4L Theta, I remember that engine being a bit trashy on mid-2000s Hyundai Sonatas (Everything from oil starvation to broken timing chains), but it wasn't terrible. The GDI version of the 2.4L Theta II is also not a new design, The Kia Optima had it for probably over a decade at this point, and it's just an engine that took all of the iss ... | |||||

| This is definetly NOT normal. It is usual for newer Kia/Hyundai vehicles to have their engines blow up at 50k 90k 120k miles, but usually not that early. Probably made wrong because of the quality control. Those things start at 30 grand I feel bad for your friend you can get a 5 year old one for around 6 7 grand look at the depreciation. The older 2008 2012 Sedonas are much more reliable I have a 2009 Kia Sportage and the quality control of the powertrain was much better than. The interior quality, style etc. have improved since then, but the engine and tran ... | |||||

| done some digging on that car..... tranny is Kia ivt (intelligent variable transmission) which known as cvt i think. as long you change tranny oil every 20k miles, it should last about 100k miles before needing major service. my neighbor currently owns Kia van and is about 175k miles (auto tranny with gears in it) loves it but, she hates repair bills and showed to me... 1 side mirror cost 500$ without labor, oil change is about 150$. gives you an idea that Kia makes its own parts and control price like volvo cars which is expensive to maintain. | |||||

| Go Toyota. I just had to change my nephews spark plugs on a 2014 Kia sorento. I had to remove the intake manifold to get to the the plugs, which meant I also needed to replace the manifold gasket. @Scotty made two videos explaining why Kia's are Crap.
