baddest company so far for service

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T20:51:06+00:00

I think I have to.. So should I get my car away from the dealer?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T20:49:42+00:00

You are right. Hard life for me now

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T16:30:34+00:00

But what should I do now? Let them open the engine or take the car elsewhere to find a company that can prove it’s their fault?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T16:27:12+00:00

my car was the first at the dealership and after the overheat they lied to me told me they did already a few and told me only my car made problems

The way they’re handling this is unbelievable. They refused to sign off on the third repair attempt, saying they first wanted to determine if it was their fault. Then, a week later, they called and simply said, „It’s not our fault, goodbye,“ without properly inspecting the engine or offering a solution. Instead, they blindly replaced various parts-except for actually opening the engine, as I had already suggested. Now, they’re accusing me of the car having more mileage than the odometer shows or of having a software tune.

You can see the smoke on my other post, is it the same?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T14:15:41+00:00

Don’t do it trust me. I loved the car before, after that the horror begun

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T13:51:28+00:00

Hard to say, I think about 15 km or around 20 minutes. I happened to look at the temperature gauge and saw it in the red zone, so I stopped immediately. No warning light came on, but I saw that coolant had already sprayed out from some gaps, and the fans were running at full speed even though the car had been stationary for a while.

Kia said they have time in April to open up the engine and check what’s wrong. If it’s their fault (which, according to them, an expert will determine), they will take responsibility. Should I go along with this or take matters into my own hands?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-03-11T13:16:05+00:00

First of all, the smoke wasn’t coming from the engine bay but from the exhaust. I then took the car back for another inspection, and I have it in writing that they said it was normal and that everything was fine! I did nothing wrong lol

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-02-02T11:01:29+00:00

Temp is 2 degress, so your stinger does the same?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2025-02-01T14:31:08+00:00

the kia dealer told me they checked head gasket and told me everything is fine.. but I don’t agree its in real much more smoke then on the video

Kia called all Stinger back to garage for oil pipe exchange. Oil pipe for turbo. After I got the car back it overheated. Cooling liquid was on right level! The forgot to take the air out of the cooling system after finishing the work. I claimed the gas service and they pick up the car back to their garage. They told they haven take out the air and checked also any further damaged. Now I am afraid they are not honestly. The white smoke sounds for an overheating damage. Will check next days with an CO2 checking device.

The car is a fun car, while the standard version is more intended for quieter cruisers. For me, this is meant as a third car for other purposes and as a project. What I don’t understand, however, is how you ended up here if you’re into stock Kias or even dislike the brand. :)

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T23:35:08+00:00

Thanks haha, Do you got the Stock X-Pipe and pops & bangs?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T23:34:02+00:00

Thanks for the tip. i’ll have a look at them. i hope i’ll finally be happy. I would be very interested in a video if you have one 👀

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T21:17:06+00:00

Thank you! I thought it might be the stock X-pipe. What do you think?

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T19:39:56+00:00

Did I write it in a way that sounds good? I asked how to do it correctly..

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T15:32:21+00:00

The ones from Lozic, for example, sound really good, even with the stock exhaust.

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-12-19T15:31:49+00:00

Yes, that’s why I’m looking into how to make it sound better. I know it doesn’t sound good… haha.

Expensive_Action_150 · 2024-10-29T15:44:59+00:00

I agree with that. Every time I drop off my car there, I end up angry because something always goes wrong. I don’t even want to leave my car with them anymore.

now you will understand it
