    Jumping out of Drive

    Cross posting here: Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? This has been getting worse and worse for me. When I get into drive, about 50% of the time, if bounces back into Neutral even when I hold it down. This shifting into Neutral without pressing the button is ridiculous. There's a...

    GT2 shift-by-wire problem?

    Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? This has been getting worse and worse for me. When I get into drive, about 50% of the time, if bounces back into Neutral even when I hold it down. This shifting into Neutral without pressing the button is ridiculous. There's a reason that shifting...

    Can bus control module coming soon

    I looked at the instructions and this is one I'm pretty nervous doing myself. I may take it to an installation shop to do if I get one. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    This is what the suggested insulation looks like. It's unnoticeable unless you look closely. Thanks to @Chris71 it saved me $1k+. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    How many people would still recommend a Stinger to a friend or family member?

    I have a black 2018 GT2. I've had 1 recall. For a 1st year model, this car has been extremely reliable. I haven't had build quality issues or rattles either. But I'd say Kia is likely fixing issues and I'd still highly recommend it for folks looking for a fast, luxurious, GT car. Particularly...

    Yeah, I would definitely take the Stinger over the Challenger or other US V8s. Frankly I'd take it over the Holden V8 too. Although I only test drove the Chevy SS version and Pontiac GTO versions. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    It worked. Thank you so much Chris. Wind noise is gone. Really, really appreciate the advice! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    The gasket isn't missing. They inserted the gasket from the $300 eBay mirror. It was way worse before then. Still, I think your suggestion is the one that makes most sense if I don't take out the mirror in order to insert a custom gasket. I will try this. Thank you again! Sent from my SM-G975U...

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    I didn't remove the entire mirror assembly. When I looked at that, there was a thick sheet of metal after the removal of the door trim that I wasn't sure I wanted to get into.. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    Long time no update. So after I "fixed" the mirror, the shrilling wind noise stayed and was really bad from around 40mph and up. I couldn't figure out what it was. I took it in and they finally figured it was the rubber gasket between the mirror and the car body. The crash damaged that gasket...

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    I ended up taking apart the eBay mirror to see if I could figure out a solution. It worked, albeit not without its issues: 1. Bend the mirror inside it’s container with the outside end sticking out as far as you can. 2. Snap the mirror glass off (this is tricky and I had to pull hard. It worked...

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    Amen. That drives me crazy. My 2016 GTI has these modes and it remembers what mode you were in as it does seat heating settings, etc. In my view this is an oversight on Kia’s part that they should retrofit with software. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I just drove almost all highway in ECO mode, no faster than 65MPH That’s the best I could do. I was on cruise control most of the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
