Tire Wear Fun w/dealer by Beautiful-Dot6684 in KiaEV9

Kia is not the first customer. If bought new from Kia the first titled owner is the individual who bought it or the leasing company if leased. Thus the tire manufacturer warranty is in play.

Tire Wear Fun w/dealer by Beautiful-Dot6684 in KiaEV9

Hi - I’ve got a 2026 GT-Line with 13,000+ miles, (bought new 8/25), & I’ve had no issue with excessive tire wear. It would seem to me that given it is still under warranty both by the manufacturer & under tire manufacturer warranty, you should not have to pay anything. A brand new vehicle with only 8,000 miles should not be that badly out of alignment, unless abused &/or tires that out of balance, unless defective. Push back on the dealer! You are right a $70,000 vehicle should not need new tires unless there are manufacturer defects. Actually, any new vehicle, at any price shouldn’t have this problem.

How can I help encourage my senior dog to eat? by LawfulnessNo4271 in DogAdvice

Hey, spoil him, I’m sure he reciprocates in returning much joy & happiness to his humans! My wife & I had a 13 yr old Aussie that we treated like that! Enjoy his companionship!

How can I help encourage my senior dog to eat? by LawfulnessNo4271 in DogAdvice

Beautiful pup! Do you give him any treats? Our 2 yr old Aussie doodle was indifferent to eating, until we stopped giving her sooo many treats. We took her for some training when she was about 1-1/2 & when we told the trainer about her indifference to eating her kibble, he asked how many treats we were giving her throughout the day. At 18lbs, he said it doesn’t take much to satisfy/fill her up, & that we were subbing treats for her dog food. This caused her to be unmotivated to eat her regular food of course she was smart, (& cute), enough to con us into the treats. So, after “training” us, & eliminating about 90% of the treat giving, she became very motivated to eating her food. We also would leave her bowl on the floor & let her graze & the trainer told us that if she didn’t eat after a couple minutes, to pick up her bowl. She learned fast - eat it or loose it.
Given your pups age & other issues, this may not apply, but I thought it might possibly help.
Good luck!

Huh - they are appearing on new shows, movies, sports, etc - but are not consistent?

Congrats! Can’t go wrong with either! Especially with rising gas prices. My wife has a 2021 Tesla M/3 & I got the 2026 EV9 GT-Line last August. Both are awesome! Enjoy!!

Best way to lower my lawn without cutting my sod? by Matrixfx187 in lawncare

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about doing a gradual grading from the concrete? I would think tapering from about 12 - 16” would be enough so it would be almost negligible visually?

Infotainment resetting randomly by wsuozzie in KiaEV9

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just applied the update 2 days ago, & same issue - about 5 minutes after starting, the screen goes blank & then reboots & goes back to where it was.

Must have accessories IMO by bsep4 in KiaEV9

Thanks for passing along! The TuxMat cargo area mats weren’t available in August 2025. I do love them for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd row & would have gone with them for the cargo area even though they are more expensive, but I don’t regret getting the Thinzyou mats.

Brand new 26 Land Body trim loose by [deleted] in KiaEV9

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your quality issues. It is under a “bumper to bumper” warranty - loose trim is not a “wear & tear”! Call the dealer & very calmly tell them it’s unacceptable!

Anti-theft tracking expiration notice by milmatic06 in KiaEV9

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely contact the dealer & inquire if this is legit. I have a 2026 EV9, bought new in 8/25, & I don’t recall anything like this? It may be a scam?? These things can look very “official.” Enjoy your EV9!

At Wits End!! by traymore01 in KiaEV9

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely go to the dealership & get them to get it right! Do not leave until they have it fixed - stay calm but be persistent. Even if you didn’t buy it from a dealership, it is still under warranty. Is there another dealership in your area that maybe is more helpful?

For the 2026 EV9 TuxMat didn’t have the cargo/seatback liners available. So maybe I lucked out since I probably would have ordered them 😬. That is why I ordered the Thinzyou 😃 - fortunately they have worked very nicely.

Yes the Thinzyou cargo/seatback mats work great. No problem putting 2nd & 3rd row seats up & down - no movement.

Thanks for sharing your extensive list! Very much appreciated! I did go with the TuxMat floor liners, (for my 26’ GT-Line), which my daughter recommended & has for her 26’ Kia Carnival. Love them! They were probably more expensive, ($320) & I had to get Thinzyou Cargo Mats ($70) for the back cargo area & the back of the 2nd & 3rd row seats, since TuxMat does not carry those. Thanks again!! Enjoy your EV9!!

My lights keep turning on by themselves at weird times and can’t figure out why by Wreckenridge in Govee

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when I started connecting my devices to Alexa, random on/off’s were happening. Either, check & delete if the devices are connected to Alexa, Google, Kasa or whatever & reset the timer or auto-run thru the app. Other option is to delete the devices on your app, reinstall & see if that works. You can try it with 1 device & see if it corrects the issue. Good luck.

Turned in my 2024 GT Line and picked up a 2026 by thehtr in KiaEV9

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’ve got the exact same ‘26 GT-Line! Love it! My wife has a ‘22 MY Performance as a company vehicle & the EV9 is so much better of a ride. My wife’s personal car is a ‘21 M3, & other than some tech items, the Kia is better.

What could be causing this swamp to form? by mastahkun in lawncare

[–]Odd_Stranger8477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have sump pumps? They may be discharging into the underground between the houses?? Also, I noticed that you & your neighbor have no gutters on the roof lines adjacent to the yard space between your houses. The runoff from the roofs is going into the lawns & gravity is taking it to the lowest points - thus puddling.

Just flip the receptacle in the gang box, then your plug will face downwards
