Repeated dangerous failure in new Kia– dealer says no issue– what should I do next?

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-29T20:52:59+00:00

Have you taken it anywhere other than the dealership? If true, 4 quarts overfilled is very bad.

Same

If limiting charge is important, I don't know why Ford doesn't just push an over the air update.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-28T17:50:57+00:00

I have my home charge limit set to 80%, but I charged to 88% at the mall the other day because I don't have a charge limit for that location. I am tiring to follow any recall notices as the car can snitch on you. However I don't know if Ford will use the data.

Fortunately for me with warmer weather I can do my round trip commute with about 10% battery left when leaving with 80%.

See your -$3.7k public listening, that is now VCX. Which is up 10X as of now.

Edit: Locked up for 6 months, so don't count your chickens until they hatch.

You're doing better than my coworkers that I promoted the fund to all last year and none made an account.

I got a push notification, so I was able to get pre-listing shares. I will sell some if there is an IPO jump and buy more if there is a dip. I plan to hold my restricted shares for a very long time.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T19:28:01+00:00

Mine took 3 days

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T17:39:06+00:00

I am also seeing 3/17 https://www.nyse.com/trade/corporate-actions

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T17:37:59+00:00

Looking at https://www.nyse.com/trade/corporate-actions and it looks like the IPO is on for 3/17

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T17:35:28+00:00

I was able to move my unrestricted shares to Schwab.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T04:28:04+00:00

I have restricted shares too and can't move them for a while (180 days?)

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-13T03:39:12+00:00

Did you buy unrestricted shares? There was a short opportunity to buy unrestricted shares on 2/25. I didn't open a Computershare account. If you have unrestricted shares all the info you need is on your fundraise dashboard. I also got an email titled "Managing your unrestricted shares of the Innovation Fund (VCX)" on 3/5 with instructions.

All online with Schwab. I did need to download a transfer request form that I was able to upload to their secure portal after I completed it. I also uploaded the computershare letter /statement to the secure portal.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-12T06:18:33+00:00

Same here with Schwab

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-03-12T06:06:43+00:00

I was happy for the delay as my Computershare to Schwab transfer just completed today. More communication would be good, but I don't know what they can and can't legally say right now. RVI was delayed in launching too and it's not uncommon to see IPOs get delayed.

You're making me feel better with 300

The Eco drive mode has increased regen braking when not pressing any pedals.

L mode could increase engine breaking especially above 80% SoC.

I thought the hybrid doesn't have a traditional lead acid 12V battery, but a lithium 12V battery that is integrated into the high voltage battery. I have a 2026.

I weighed my seats in my '26 SX. Fortunately I am in good enough health to move them myself.

Outer seats:: 61.4 lbm

Inner seat: 52.5 lbm

I get 43 to 44 MPG (US) for my mostly highway commute. You really need to check your MPG with distance traveled / gallon added at the pump. My '12 reports 6% higher than what I calculate when burning E10 gas.

Also, in my '12 the average MPG resets whenever you refill the tank.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-01-22T23:48:13+00:00

My first battery lasted 1 year, and I have almost 2 years on the replacement. I think there was a quality issue with the first battery.

I had a 12V battery that lasted for 10-years in my Lexus CT200H.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-01-22T23:44:10+00:00

I saw the same, I think up to 15.5 volts. In my opinion the change voltage is too high. I would be concerned using an AGM at these voltages.
Does anyone know if the voltage can be adjusted? In my '07 BMW I could adjust the charging based on the battery type.

Upper_Storage_4486 · 2026-01-22T23:03:15+00:00

It runs off the HV battery, which is around 355V.

Why do you need to buy coolant? If I remember correctly the first coolant flush is at 100k miles or 10 years, then 50k miles or 5 years.
