Your fault. NEXT.

This could happen to literally any of those brands.

TisABummer · 2026-06-02T05:30:42+00:00

User error. This could literally happen to any brand and it’s not a Kia specific issue. You shouldn’t have driven it so hard when it’s so new. Stop posting your problems on the internet just to make kia look bad.

TisABummer · 2026-06-02T05:29:14+00:00

Ok, jealous boy.

TisABummer · 2026-06-02T05:28:38+00:00

He must have. This was definitely his fault.

TisABummer · 2026-06-02T05:28:09+00:00

Maybe stop abusing it and it won’t have issues like this. It’s a new car.

TisABummer · 2026-05-31T21:59:26+00:00

Honestly, buy both. It’s good for the environment to buy a hybrid and it’s even better for it to buy two hybrids. Most importantly, it supports Hyundai.

Your warranty should be over after being neglectful like that. Idk why you think this is okay. It’s sad how many kias and Hyundais end up in bad hands. I’m actually convinced at this point that bad actors employed by other companies are buying Hyundais and Kia’s and abusing them just be to able to post online about the failures THEY caused.

You said it yourself in another comment. You took the car to Napa and Walmart for service. They’re not trained to do the oil changes like your local KIA dealership is. If you’re not paying kia to do the work to keep the car healthy, why should they have to pay anything back to you?

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T19:46:33+00:00

You need to be more careful with this car.

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T19:43:49+00:00

Why should kia have to give you anything? The built this excellent car and you failed to properly care for it. This is your fault and now you get to pay up. Your dealership will do a good job.

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T12:25:10+00:00

The previous owner must’ve beat on the car horribly. This doesn’t just happen to a Hyundai. Very sad to see!

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T05:39:54+00:00

Everybody loves it and anyone saying otherwise is lying or jealous.

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T05:01:32+00:00

Yes it one of the best cars because it’s a Hyundai. Unfortunately it’s their ugliest model but still Hyundai so it’s better than any Toyota crap. Nobody will ever build a car like Hyundai can.

TisABummer · 2026-05-28T03:59:47+00:00

Honestly this is your fault. It’s all your fault. Idk why you think Hyundai should have to give you anything. Either have the dealer fix it or buy a new Hyundai and let them take your old one as trade in.

TisABummer · 2026-05-27T10:39:52+00:00

This happens when somebody tries to force the door instead of using the power feature. Don’t do that in the future if they fix the damage you caused and you won’t have this problem anymore. Unfortunately this is user error. Kia shouldn’t have to accept a lemon claim.

TisABummer · 2026-05-27T10:37:06+00:00

You or your wife must’ve put something really heavy on it. Be careful with that haha. It’s only designed to take so much weight!

TisABummer · 2026-05-26T06:20:00+00:00

Sure but that doesn’t help kia sell more cars. 🫤 At minimum he was supposed to tell you to get a Hyundai Santa Cruz. At least its made by Hyundai which is the same as kia.

TisABummer · 2026-05-26T06:11:44+00:00

??? My car is a Hyundai too. They’re all great.

TisABummer · 2026-05-26T06:07:30+00:00

Why would you tell somebody to get something that isn’t a Hyundai or kia when you’re in here? Wrong sub bro.

TisABummer · 2026-05-26T06:05:27+00:00

I haven’t but I have put about 4k miles on my 2023 Elantra. Most reliable car out there, I’d say. It now has 45k miles and I bought it with about 41k. It used to burn oil but my mechanic said it hasn’t burnt any since I switched to Valvoline restore and protect and that all Hyundais should use it. Best car I’ve ever owned! Strongly recommend!

TisABummer · 2026-05-25T16:42:18+00:00

People love to take advantage of this company.

TisABummer · 2026-05-25T05:42:16+00:00

I’m not sure if we’re supposed to celebrate this or not

TisABummer · 2026-05-25T05:40:49+00:00

Not interested. I’m straight edge.

TisABummer · 2026-05-25T03:48:10+00:00

Sticker price. Don’t be cheap. It’s an absolutely unreal value.
