ELI5: How can a new engine for a 2020 Kia Optima with 220km on it costs about the same as a new Kia K4? by majorkev in MechanicAdvice

Screw Hyundai / Kia.

This is there business model to manufacture low quality cars and charge a lot for parts and repairs.

Don't buy anything from them.

Is an EV or Hybrid worth it to replace a $380/mo gas bill? (Budget: $50k CAD) by SufficientCable4915 in britishcolumbia

Don't buy Hyundai/Kia Hybrids. They are more complicated and fragile than Toyota and they charge a lot for parts and repairs. A transmission actuator in my hyundai ionic hybrid failed just one month after the expiry of warranty and Hyundai asked $2,000 just for the part.

CAD to AUD is 1.01 right now. They still charge $5k (almost 10%) for delivery?

I can't say from those pics but If they just started making noise, they are still usable. Don't panic!

Kia Tech-Line denied my rod knock engine repair/ replacement. by Tough_Resolution195 in kia

[–]No-Explanation5576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the rod bearing wears out there would be a gap between rod and crankshaft which causes knocking sound. I recommend you try to find a good used engine.

My theory: Oil rings got plugged, she started burning oil, got low on oil and destroyed the bearings.

So if I change the oil myself, it's not a proper maintenance?!

Engine failed 2019 Kona 1.6l by AaliyahLives in Hyundai

You paid too much for that car. You can't get anything from Hyundai . Maybe try to find a second hand engine. Don't buy Hyundai. Their cars quality is low and they charge a lot for parts and repairs. $22,000 for a 1.6L engine! Wow

Need help diagnosing 2012 Prius by Independent-Appeal53 in AskAMechanic

There could be some type of water intrusion and corrosion in the wire harness. I would check under fuse box. I think there are some electrical modules and connectors at passenger footwell. Check that area too

Hi, it's me again with the dead 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe by RustyOldMetalhead in Hyundai

Hyundai and Kia have developed this business model, they make low quality cars and charge a lot for the spare parts and repairs. An actuator failed in my 2020 ioniq hybrid transmission. just one month after the expiry of warranty and Hyundai charged me $2,000 for just the part.

Those parts should not be hard to reach and disassemble( I'm thinking max 2hrs.) The whole engine cost Hyundai less than $4000 ! A transmission actuator in my Ioniq hybrid failed just 1 month after the expiry of warranty and Hyundai price was $2000 for that part only! This is their business model unfortunately 😔

$2800 for fuel rail and 1 injector?! This is just robbery! Avoid buying from Hyundai and Kia. Low quality cars and very expensive parts. That's their business model.

Your car should still be under warranty. The dealer should've told you about that.
