    All the Sudden I'm in Manual Mode

    Hey guys, Here with another odd one. I'm noticing that I'll be driving around on side streets (doesn't happen while on the HWY) in Drive and all is good. Then, I'll push the accelerator down and all the sudden the RPMs go way up, so I look at the dash to see what's going on and I'm in 2nd...

    Appreciate the correction. :)

    No, they came with some Bridgestone Potenza model that aren't very good. Huh, weird. Did it ever get fixed?

    Love my Stinger, but a few...issues

    If you all are curious I FINALLY took it into the dealer to look at #1 and #6. First, what I didn't have them look at. I'm figuring #2 isn't worth it till I see it. #3 isn't an issue if I go slow enough, plus I plan on getting Pilot Sports in the Spring. #4, will wax it myself, waaah! :p #5...

    Good to hear! :) This is my first new car so I'd imagined they'd make it as nice as they could to sell. Guess not so much on the wax job. "mind of their own" Lol. Mine is black.

    Question about 10 yr extended Full Warranty

    Hi all, When I bought my stinger they tried to sell me a complete 10 year warranty covering everything. I told the wife I'd keep the cost under a certain number so didn't bite. However, I am interested as I've had awful luck with cars. When my dad bought a Prius a while ago he also didn't get...

    Thanks for the tip! Did the dealer make the sunroof noise any better at least?

    Love my Stinger, but a few...issues

    Thank you all so much for making me feel like I'm NOT crazy! :D The next question, have any of you gone to the dealer and had them look at any of these things? And more importantly have they done anything to fix or at least make them better? It's really cool to be able to talk to you all from...

    Love my Stinger, but a few...issues

    Hi all, Got a new 2018 GT1 AWD with Drivewise a couple months ago. Traded in a 2015 Optima SXL. I love the Stinger, though I do miss the roominess and the trunk of the Optima (that trunk was immense!). I've been lurking on a few Stinger forums and I've run into a few issues I wanted to ask...

    Awd custom mode question

    I must say, I'm pretty disappointed by the lack of information as well. And not just for this issue. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but it would be nice to know some quantitative data on how much does sport mode change the steering, suspension, etc.

    Apple CarPlay Music Issue?

    This is the second Kia I've had and the both had issues with CarPlay. However, I'm pretty sure I know what it is. Similar to Moabal, I'd plug it in and it would do what yours is doing, or it would never register at all with the car. The solution? Crap in the connector. You can tell when...
