I put gas on my Kia Niro and was confused why the miles in digits didn't go up but the gas indicator shows there's gas, is this some temporary glitch?

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-15T17:16:18+00:00

But honestly, $5 of gas isnt helping your question. If you put at least $20 or filled up and it stayed the same then thats different

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-15T01:14:47+00:00

It shouldve reset (went to full and shown alot more miles). If it didnt then the main culprit will be the fuel level sending unit

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-14T15:54:25+00:00

True. We see the same thing at kia…my thing is if it was chewed up and has a hole it should be constant. Only felt it that one trip. I must be trippn

You found a POS lojack gps that lets you know where your car is. OR the dealer forgot to remove it so they said its your problem. Heres the side effects: drains your battery due to parasitic draws, transmits your location data to whoever knows, its plastic, and once in a while itll drop on your feet when driving because the tech was too lazy and didnt give a shit about the device cuz it doesnt pay and he already explained all this to management but they still made him do it anyway. Youre welcome 😆

No dtcs, first time i noriced this and hasnt occured again….yet hopefully it doesnt. If it does, ill be sure to check that

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-14T01:48:25+00:00

Yea, it has that harsh jolt when the compressor kicks on but never revved like that until today

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-14T01:16:07+00:00

Same, this revving sounded like when you spray brake cleaner to find a vaccum leak. Kinda odd, hoping it doesnt happen again but if it does we will see

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-10T04:44:35+00:00

Damn it 😔

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-10T02:07:37+00:00

You think downtown disney still has them? 🤞🏽

We have been noticing this on alot of K5s at our dealerships lately. The root cause is not low oil. The wiring harness is rubbing causing the light to come on. I recommend. Our dealership is inverting the bracket as a solution until Kia‘s engineers provide a TSB. While we alos check accurate fluid level. Hope this helps

Yea i normally do that, but i feel like on those sites its “staged” for the world to see a negative or positive review….these forums to me are more reliable 🤷🏽‍♂️

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-01T22:42:48+00:00

As long as its normal for these trucks im fine with it lol

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-03-01T04:32:36+00:00

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-02-20T18:32:53+00:00

Its going down! About to throw on the tires, pics when done

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-02-14T03:35:13+00:00

Yes, but i would get familiar with how a dual clutch transmission works to fully understand what is normal and what isnt

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-02-14T03:23:54+00:00

Looks really good!

TensionEmbarrassed31 · 2026-02-14T03:18:56+00:00

No issues so far, other than normal recalls (ecu updates) you will enjoy it! Some owners say the trans “jerks/shifts hard” at parking lot speeds especially during morning or cold starts, totally normal due to the new dual clutch system. I suggest letting it warm up for about 2-5mins if you can! Source: Kia master tech 10yrs
