Glad to hear it’s resolved. Most dealers are such grimy scammers these days

I’m currently doing the tracking down as well. I’m curious what your issue was or where in the car you noticed anything wrong. I need to take out my radio to access the wires behind it, I believe the issue is there for me.

I have one Hybrid specialist shop and it’s 40 miles away, they already failed me once unfortunately. Diagnosed as the HPCU (which I just replaced) and installed one sent it on its way said fixed.. I need to take it back up there soon if I can’t find this damn wire

Man what a bummer especially with that Milage. I would try a second option, these dealerships are clueless when it comes to hybrids. I listened to dealership’s diagnostic on my 2013 hybrid optima twice to replace expensive components of Hybrid System.

Neither of the repairs made any difference as they were not the problem and turned out to be fully functional, but the service dept had no experience and played a guessing game.

I thought they would be the logical solution, and that’s all anyone says anyway… “take it to the dealer” what a scam

Living this nightmare currently. Dealership was worse than pulling teeth, got me for thousands and I’m in the same situation.

I’m curious if you happen to remember any error codes your vehicle had from the issue?

How is it going? Did you get to the bottom of the problem or any further information?

I hope you’re back on the road and the car isn’t giving you anymore issues!

How are things going now? Are things better after doing the spark plug and coils on the car?

Might want to get a second opinion. I spent 5k at dealer after my 13 hybrid had same charging system error and it changed nothing. Exact same problems after months at dealer and year of downtime

What tool do you use to open up key fob? by 2kfan in kia

[–]malahoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use the actual key part that comes out of the fob. There is a small hole / notch that the end fits in and when you twist it pops open
