| RE: How long will my car last? | 22Relevance | 4 years ago | KrisTTBoda | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It was a 2007 Kia Picanto made in South Korea, Euro-spec. I bought it from the second owner. It had like 36,660 miles on it. It ran fine the first few months of ownership, but then it started to drain my wallet. The crankshaft position sensor had to be replaced. I remember the car constantly threw codes. One day all of a sudden it was running rough and smoked. I took it in and they had it for a week before replacing the piston rod in the engine. Later the car died on the highway with check engine light flashing - I had to get it towed to the nearest garage. ... | |||||

| 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. | |||||

| Kia AND HYUNDAI ARE TOTAL CRIMINALS ON THIS!!!! Do a quick google search and you'll see in April of '22 a Class action lawsuit has FINALLY been brought against Hyundai / Kia for EVERY 4 cylinder car they've made in the last 10 years and , because of car shortage , they are totally getting away with this. It's NOT normal. It is a risk of fire with excessive oil. It will destroy the mass air flow sensor, any one who says "Just add oil" has no idea what they are talking about. My new 2020 Soul only had 9,000 on it and started burning 1/2 quart every 1,000 mi ... | |||||
| Answer to: Why all the Hyundai hate? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, I'd just like to point out I did not say that,I said that I believe the gov should require corporations to publish accurate data (lifespan by manufacturer, and insurance companies to release overall stats for each model). I do not call for any direct action, or for the government to waste any tax payer money.-I must say that I disagree on Hyundai-Kias being "death traps", when looking at data,-death rates from Hyundai-Kia cars continue to be bellow average on most recent models. Not as good as Volvo, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Subaru - but better than Nissan, GM and many other products.-As far as fire concerns, here's data:-The average fire rates across the industry are 3,474 per 100,000 in hybrids, 1,529 per 100,000 petrol/diesels.So naturally with millions sold, tens of thousands of cars will catch on fire throughout their lifetime regardless of the brand.Hyundai-Kia are 2.5 times more likely to catch on fire than the average car, and it sounds dramatic but, that's how it is with small numbers. Even if the situation has changed and it is now 4x, then still.-Just to illustrate how much 2.5x times is, that's the difference between the Subaru Legacy's death rates compared to the Toyota Camry (but it's just minuscule anyway 0.0225% difference, both are very safe)Additionally the difference between the death rates in a Honda HRV is 4x higher than in a Nissan Juke - and yet the difference is so small in real world numbers that it's negligible.-I have not seen any numerical evidence that Hyundai-Kia products are death traps. 560 people die a year in the US as a result of a car fire (based on 2018 data) possibly (I do not know the number) 20-30 of those have died in a Hyundai-Kia - but those cases in particular get sensationalized.-I think Hyundai-Kia fire concerns are over represented. | |||||
| Kia Sportage 2012. Engine knocking, Kia is replacing engine on goodwill, NOT the extended warranty via ECU update | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Egad | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty! 2012 Kia Sportage AWD 120,000 miles Automatic Going down highway and engine started knocking, knew Kia's were crap but I figured I had more time because I babied the thing. I knew that I went in for their ECU software update recall back in may, 2021 and under that recall update they provide a 10 year/150,000 warranty for long block damage caused by connecting rod. I took it to the Kia dealer and explained the warranty and they said they would diagnose and get back to me. I just got called today and they were replacing the engine under good ... | |||||

| 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. I also own a Kia, wish I found Scotty's channel before buying one. | |||||

| No, these reviews are not by Kia employees, exactly, but rather "journalists" who are flown to vacation destinations and wined and dined, and provided with test cars, track days, etc. The cars are especially prepared by Kia techs. The "journalists" are employed by magazines and web sites which receive their funding from car manufacturers, such as Kia. These reviews are bought, just like many if not most Amazon and Yelp reviews. | |||||
| I got a free Kia motor and catalytic converter from Kia! | 18Relevance | 2 years ago | DaveCarey | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, this really isn't a question but information for your viewers. In reference to your recent video titled "Everyone Who Owns a Toyota Just Got Screwed (Do Not Buy)", you talked about the difficulty getting Kia to replace an engine. I was able to get my sister-in-laws motor and catalytic converter replace and I'll tell you how I did it. Her 2012 Kia Soul engine with over 100K miles on it got a hole in the piston on the way to my house in VA coming from NY. It was towed to the dealer in PA, and they said that she needed a new motor for $4k. I did so ... | |||||

Dealer says that the coils need replacing that the black paint shows bare metal in some places, on 3 of the 4 coils, they say they are arching inside the engine and the spark plugs need replacing too and you cant used 3rd party parts, only Kia parts for a total cost of $600.

| Are Kia Electric Vehicles Reliable? | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Owen Klaassen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty! I’m looking at some Kia electrics (The Soul EV and the Niro EV). I know you’re not a fan of Kia, however I’m wondering what you would think of a Kia Electric as a lower priced EV. Would they be decently reliable for a lower priced option? Or would they be a pile of crap? Thanks! | |||||
| 2017 Kia Rio why is my oil disappearing without any visible leaks? | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | driver613 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Is it hard valve seals on a 2017 Kia Rio? Have you ever changed the valve seals on a Kia Rio? I have a 2017 Kia Rio four cylinder with 138,000 miles on the odometer. I'm losing oil at an accelerated rate. There is no oil on the ground so I know it's an internal oil leak. Aside from valve seal is there anything else that I should change that would be causing this issue? Please respond with any help or suggestion or how to video as this is my everyday driver and it's getting worse by the day thank you | |||||
| Answer to: 2014 Kia Soul engine blew up. | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | MrBob | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Who told you the car warranty is void? Somebody paid for that 10 year 100K warranty. It was built into the price of the car. I would try complaining to your state attorneys generals office. In New York you can do it on line. Just have your documentation in order including the receipt that says your warranty is void. There was a class action suit over the hyundai / Kia engines from that era blowing up. Kia was ordered to fix them regardless of your second owner status. You can also try Kia Motors consumer affairs division in Irvine California. | |||||
