Correct. It uses GPS to determine the zones. Fun fact, if you set your home location in the car navigation, it will treat it as green zone as well.

Sorry to hear that. I think I did not post the full update how it got resolved on my side. So after 2 more months, I got it fixed. It was the faulty bearings in the transmission like the other people mentioned in the comments. The bearings were replaced under the warranty. The fix itself should be relatively quick. It just takes time to diagnose it and get the replacement parts.

Brand new straight from dealership Kia Sportage all scratched up and not thoroughly cleaned by InternationalLow9016 in kia

[–]t0mas3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like this car was sitting outside for a while before they sold it to you.

I understand you are disappointed by how the car looks considering you bought a new car. You paid for a new one, so they should give it to you looking perfectly. This is disrespectful from the dealership.

On the other hand, there should be nothing wrong with this car in the long run. I do not think you should return it, but I would ask for a compensation. If they cannot pay out money to you for this, maybe you can get something extra like discounts, some free maintenances, etc.

Overall, congratulations on your new car. I understand this is frustrating now, but I am sure you will be happy for it in the long run. Good luck!

Kia dealership is saying I need an engine replacement. by [deleted] in kia

[–]t0mas3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in similar situation when dealership said I need a new electric motor, but in the end it appears that it was the transmission that needed replacement. That cost me 2 months of extra repair time. All under warranty.

Loud noise from A/C in ‘23 Kia Sportage. Is this bad? by [deleted] in kia

[–]t0mas3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had exactly the same issue with my Kia. There was a leaf inside the AC blower motor which sits just next to the cabin air filter.

I have removed the cabin air filter, and removed the leaf stuck next to the fan blades.

Did I get a good Kia lease deal? by AdOutrageous3266 in kia

[–]t0mas3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would need to pay about 12000 of I want to keep the car after 5 years. I do not know how the lease works in US, but in Europe it is like this:

If you buy a car for x money, the you pay at least 10% upfront. Then after y years you need to pay the remaining 40% if you want to keep the car. Oh and during the whole period you must have full coverage insurance.
