My parking assist alerts stopped working. The failure mode is no front parking assist warnings moving forward after driving vehicle. If I put the vehicle in reverse and then drive, the forward parking assist starts to work again for a short time. then stops working again. I have tested this...

FUP 2 - OEM windshield replacement has restored the HUD to full clarity. Lesson learned, do not accept after market windshields even thought they are for HUD equipped vehicles.

FUP Safelight warranty visit. Tech agreed the after market HUD windshield was garbage. Geico agreed to replace with Kia OEM glass. Appointment next Wed. Hopefully this fixes it.

FUP. Checking the paperwork they put in an aftermarket windscreen supposedly for the HUD, It shows the markings designating that, but it really does not perform like the OEM. I called the Dealer service mgr and he said that happens quite often and I am probably stuck with what I have. I may...

I just had my 2018 GT2 windshield replaced by Safelight (rock chip and subsequent loooong crack) Safelight said they could do both windshield and recalibration. Well, after 6 tried from a remote contractor, they said they could not connect they could not say whether it was a remote connection...

Update: The overfilled oil is due to gas being forced into the crankcase by a defective high pressure fuel pump. I guess my intuition that something was getting into the oil was correct, it just wasn't coolant. Dealer is replacing the high pressure fuel pump and they are replacing some o-rings...

I did drain about a quart from the bottom of the sump and it looks like it's just oil, no coolant or other fluid. The dipstick still shows waaay overfilled. I'll need to take that up with service when I see them because they are the only ones to service the vehicle. I haven't started to look...

Update on this issue; That was in early 2019. I have been since been back to the dealer for the second oil change and they said nothing so i figured I was all good. Now at 15k miles I dropped the under body panel to do my own oil change and what do I see? Oil on the lower pan and the area above...

I bought an ADD catch can from them and had nothing but positive responses from them and the manufacturer. Fast shipping and what I considered to be a fair competitive price. I'll be buying from them again. Maybe rather than engaging them regarding their price, simply buy the item from Ebay...

Follow up. Did the coast to coast trip with an Enduro style run from Key West to Las Vegas on the return. Mostly hi speed highway miles. Tested all the tech in the car and it all seemed to run well. It's a great car for an extended trip. Returned to dealer for scheduled oil change and the...

Has anyone used this kit? ATQ subframe collars Not trying to shill for K8 but the video on their site did show some potential slop in the subframe components that these things would reduce or eliminate. If the stock components remained tight They really shouldn't move around unless you shacked...

Which seems really counter intuitive given some of the reasons for having AWD.,,,at least on the rear axle.

Uniden R3 + Waze. Just did a cross country trip and both platforms served me well.

I agree that the interactive electronics in the Stinger leave a lot to be desired. I suppose I don't have a problem plugging the phone in to use Google Maps and Waze for nav as they actively use the phone for that all the time. UVO is a complete pile of crap. I am not even sure what their...

Because GT2 comes stock with LSD
