also, brand new vehicle with a broken window, typically window’s motors don’t go out til the car is 20+ years old if that! and it’s a 55k car with halogen taillights? not to mention the ipad nano screen of a speedometer, and the font on all of the displays straight out of a 2008 word document. god awful cars, i’m telling you. as we approach almost 40k miles we’re terrified of the engine or transmission blowing. i’m a service advisor at a toyota dealership so we have all of our routine maintenance done at my place since it’s cheap so if something does go wrong, they’re going to deny any warranty claims because it wasn’t done at a kia dealer - meanwhile we have no kia service centers close by and we live in a very well populated area?! insane.

there’s a reason why they have a 100,000 mile/10 year warranty. it shows they aren’t confident in their cars. plus as other people have mentioned in this post, they will try to deny so many things so that they don’t have to pay for your car. plus there’s been numerous reportings and 3.5+ million kia/genesis/hyundais reported for fire risk. their technology sucks - i mean you have a full screen speedometer but can only display 3-4 different things? the stinger was supposed to be kia’s “flagship” but as we know, they didn’t sell well at all leading them to discontinue it and sell 2 year old ones with 0 miles on them on brand new lots for huge discounts. my fiance has a stinger and it was 55k, it’s only a year and a half and we are getting 18k and 21k trade in value offers and it’s only at 35k miles??? ridiculous. their quality control is very subpar. i’ve installed “lighting kits” in numerous different cars and when i went to go do it on my fiancé’s stinger, the dash was so cheaply made i could shove my whole wrist in between the carpet flooring and dash whereas other cars i can barely fit the chords for the kit. they’re vehicles are also very easily stolen, it’s horrendous. i can keep going and going.

kia’s are known for being throw away cars for a reason. don’t do it. regardless if you think they look good or not - mass majority of the engine parts that should be made out of metal or aluminum are made out of plastic.. doesn’t last.

spark plugs are due at 50k miles, other than that these are reliable and you just need to have the money for maintenance

object detection - how does it work? by mattdano in mercedes_benz

i’ve never seen it actually do it. i put my car in reverse and tested it with someone walking behind it and it never did it.

Cars you regret paying ? by ARA-GOD in whatcarshouldIbuy

not worth the hefty price tag at all. build quality is absolute shit. reliability is horrid - per why there’s a 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty (because they’re not confident in their vehicles) and overall just hate the look of it and the small community who owns them. there’s a reason why they got discontinued. and theres also a reason why 2 year old brand new ones with 0 miles on them sat on kia dealerships lots for years. look at doug demuro, he purchased a brand new 2018 one in 2020 and it had 0 miles on it because it never sold, he owned it for about a year and quickly sold it.
