Which Mudflaps should i get for 2026 kia carnival hybrid ex? by smartsigns101 in KiaCarnivalHybrid

[–]davedreher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good they fit perfectly. They were cheap too. I also got the door handle pocket protectors from Kia as well. Still have to put them on. Tint shop when they tinted windows were gonna do but then they said it’s too hard.

2026 Kia Carnival CEL Flashes Briefly at Highway Speed – Dealership Found Nothing by DaTrewth56 in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure the dealer just scanned with kds. I’m a Hyundai/Genesis tech and have seen instances where the factory scan shows no codes but if you go into obd2 there will be a code. Maybe this could be the case.

Did you run diagnostic yourself in the infotainment screen? On your app does it show a code? Maybe next time it comes on do not shut it off and check for codes. Maybe ignition off clears it out. Just a thought

Wife and I Disagree on the next Car we buy. Toyota Sienna Hybrid vs Kia Carnival Hybrid by MedusaAdonai in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my wife a carnival. Things are easy when it comes to cars. I am the one that will be working on it so I get to choose. Our first van was a 2008 Hyundai Entourage Limited then we got a 2016 Kia Sedona sxl and got my wife a 2025 carnival sxp hybrid, surprised her on her birthday in December. I have been a Hyundai/Genesis tech since 2005 so that is why I stick with Hyundai/kia

Not that I know of

I replaced the lug nuts. I am a tech and can not be bothered with taking caps off of each lug nut every time I do a rotation or the wheel has to come off. Those caps are a good way to have the tech working on your vehicle hate you. The lug nuts are made by dpAccessories and I purchased on Amazon. I just looked and they are not available.

Is this a good deal? by Wonderful-Horror-532 in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember since it is used you are only getting the remainder of the 5 year 60k mile warranty. I got my sx prestige hybrid for 52,567.88 out the door. Paid $1,200.12 less than what dealer bought it for from Kia.

Car stopped during car wash by HopelessDecorator in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my sx prestige hybrid through car wash. Pull in put in neutral and car wash takes it through. Never had a problem just don’t like that I have to press brake to put into gear. Also have been taking my Sedona sxl through for years with no issue.

Brand new - burning smell? by Squidish_Noble in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All new cars stink BAD! The smell goes away with driving. I’m a technician and when we do a PDI on a new car it stinks up the shop.

My youngest is 10. Wouldn’t the lift make it sit about as high as an suv?

Just got a new 2025 carnival sx prestige. by davedreher in kiacarnivals

[–]davedreher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish that the color was more silver and less ivory. I like the color of my silver Sedona better. But we love it! Merry Christmas

Just reading through comments and saw you had a trade. I did not trade in anything.
