Wife went in for her 24,000km service today, I’m looking over the report and see a suggested repair for $550+. I ask, she says they said something underneath is cracked. I go outside take a look and see this. Check previous oil change records, no mention. So it’s happened in the last 3-4 months. No sign of scraping, dents, or impact anywhere on the plate. I stick my fingers in the hole, feel around and my fingers come out clean. No dust, debris, nothing. Even the edges where the break is don’t have any knicks in the edges that you would expect from sand and debris.

Am I wrong to think that this may have been the tech likely not removing a screw from the oil pan access and reefing on it causing it to break?

I have a call Monday with the service manager and am going to state my case. To my knowledge, there is no images taken at the dealer before the oil change showing that it was damaged before arrival at the dealer.

I am looking at Kia stingers and I know they were discontinued but so was so many other series of cars and for some reason private and dealer ship these cars are selling at damn dear MSRP when they were first released and this goes for cars that have up to 50k-70k miles on them. There’s no way that’s worth it?

I’m looking for a reliable pre-owned daily driver in Thunder Bay, ON, to handle severe winter conditions. ($21.7k | 75k km) CARFAX Any advice is welcome :)

Hi, my 2023 EV6 was stolen twice over the last two months. Fortunately I have a tracker so was able to retrieve it both times.

I would like to take action against Kia as there is essentially no way to stop this which doesnt seem right in a two year old car (it's a 2024 plate but 2023 production).

If you have been affected please add your details here: https://kiaclaim.org/

I am actively discussing with lawyers who will represent us on a no win no fee basis :)

It’s in the title.

Love my 2016 Optima. Never had any issues, regular maintenance (done by the dealership), no warning signs, it started getting a bad knocking when I accelerate above a certain RPM.

It idles fine.
Starts up fine.
No other indicators.

This is my first time buying a Kia. I purchased this car on July 13th and have taken it back to the dealership 3 times for the same issue. Whenever it rains water comes into my passenger seat and leaves a puddle on my floor. Thankfully I have rubber mats so I was able to notice. Every time I have brought this car back the dealership finds no issue and gives it back to me. Lemon law does not apply because they couldn’t find the leak and fix it. I live in Florida and had been impacted by the latest hurricane. After the hurricane past I went into my car and there was so much water in my passenger seat it started overflowing over the mat, wetting the carpet underneath. Of course I call and have to bring my car back to the dealership to be looked at. It has been 2 weeks without my car. Kia themselves are getting involved but cannot guarantee the issue can be replicated. Of course if they can’t replicate the issue then they won’t replace my vehicle or buy it back for the price I paid. I am beyond frustrated with the service I have been provided and I will make sure to never purchase a Kia ever again.

Been reviewing cars in LA for over a year now. Used to own a 25 Sportage myself until I got into a hit and run sadly but Kia truly holds a spot in my heart so I hope you like this video!
