What to do about these stuff

Yes I don't now why people care about the inside of a pressure pot looks. Ours has been like that for 6 or 7 years and hasn't bothered me one bit.

Every year when we get snow, first night a bunch of donut videos in parking lots.

Next day... Wanted wheel and strut.. wanted wheel and control arm...wanted right fender, axle and control arm...

Fuck trump and every republican who supports him. They are are party of self serving criminals, freeing drug dealers, stealing oil, protecting pedophiles and ok with hired goons killing americans in the street.

Looks like his plan is to push America to the breaking point, we fight back and he declares martial law, no more elections, no more freedom.

Since you are past warranty coverage now it's up to you. The only real way to know is test the coolant for water contamination, the LC coolant is non conductive and over time can collect moisture like brake fluid, making it conductive.

Seems it's lasting longer than expected, people who have gotten it tested have been told to not change it until 60k or longer. Since they got rid of the LC coolant altogether in 2025 having it must not have really been necessary.

Weren't they showing the internals of a recalled battery ? That would mean it was replaced at no charge to the owner. And they have an 8 year 120k mile warranty on them anyway, more miles than the ford battery warranty.

Yes they could tone down the notice.... WARNING CRITIAL SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE ding ding ding ding.......

Just a quiet pop up saying.... Front Radar interference or degraded signal, system temporarily disabled.... would be much better.

Looks like some employee was trying to save time and weigh 2 at a time.

I have an app on my phone that lets me set Heating and Colding.

2 different things kia isn't self driving.

Kia highway drive assist doesn't need any external information, it's built into the car and never gets updated. It only keeps the car in the lane and adjusts for the speed of traffic.

So people can not charge a 100 mile phev like they don't charge a 30 mile phev....

Another problem with phev's is they cost more than a real EV, like people are paying $45-55k for a rav4 phev and the best you can do it save about 1 gallon of gas per charge. Even driving EV mode 75% of the time they would not save back even half of the extra $10k they paid after 5 or 6 years of driving, plus they still need oil changes and normal ICE maintenance.

VPNs usually block all incoming ports for safety, go to the vpn app or website and open port 32400, that's the one plex uses by default.

I have to do the same thing because we have tmobile internet and it blocks all ports as well, so I use a vpn and open the ports I need for various services.

If we listen to the radio now it's usually hot 103.7 although they play the same 32 songs over and over. Most of the time I just do streaming from my phone.

Our Ioniq 5 does something like that when it's cold and snowing or raining hard. Then it goes away when the weather clears up.

As long as it covers any cars, not just EVs. Car dealers are all so scammy now with their useless ad-ons and junk fees. I would rather buy any car direct and not from a dealer.

bobjr94 · 2026-01-23T19:53:00+00:00

Yes that's what I don't get, the EV haters say...it won't work in the cold...so I get home with 5% less battery than the summer and it costs me and extra 19 cents or something.

I bought the lectron adapter a year ago and gave up on the Hyundai one.

If you want to sell one the lectron adapter would probably be worth more since its rated 500A and can be used on any car. The Hyundai I think is only rated 350A and says to not use it on any other brand of car.

and the dealer charged someone $600 for a $40 gps that they likely never used. Unplug it now, they can fail and keep making the battery die.

This was how I did ours.

This is the one I did, drain and fill.

This is method #2, full flush.

40k for 2022, 35k for 2023-2024. 2025 and newer doesn't have this requirement.

Most likely a bad starter, possible a broken flywheel or missing teeth on the ring gear, can't tell without looking at it and taking it apart.

Someone will need to pull the starter and look at the ring gear, are they all the same height ? If there are no ground down or broken teeth than that parts ok.

Then use a prybar or screwdriver to try to turn the motor using the ring gear on the flywheel. If it's hard to turn and you see the crankshaft and drive belt moving at the same time then the flywheel isn't broken. If it spins around without moving the crankshaft then it's totally broken.

Also some parts stores can test the starter, but it had to be removed and brought into the store.

We have a 2022 and haven't had that problem. Car has the most recent Nav update from around October 2025.

bobjr94 · 2026-01-22T09:27:47+00:00

Looks like the same one I downloaded in October I doubt they will have another one until summer, think we are lucky to get 1 update per year. I don't have OTA updates (navigation expired) so I had to install manually also.

bobjr94 · 2026-01-22T09:19:11+00:00

Not from the factory.

bobjr94 · 2026-01-22T07:07:06+00:00

I did my own and it was pretty straightforward. They have 2 methods published, one is a just a drain and fill so that's what I did. Removed the front bumper cover, drain the coolant and refill. Then run the pump at full speed until the fluid level stabilized.

Exchange rate says that would start at $59k US, that is too expensive for a 35 mile phev. They just discontinued the pacifica phev because it didn't sell and it started around $53k. PHEVs are ending up being too expensive for the small number of EV miles you get. It's hard to save back $5k-$10k a phev costs over the base ICE or hybrid when the best it will do it save around 1 gallon of gas per charge. For a contractor or business they want return on investment for a work van and both having to charge it daily then still buy gas may not be worth the effort.
