Anyone know if the spoiler on the 2022 scorpion edition can be removed without replacing the trunk panel?

Hi guys, I have a new 2022 Stinger GT2 that I traded up from an ‘18 GT base. I have almost 700 miles on it and haven’t been driving it too hard in an attempt to follow the engine break-in recommendations (staying under 4K rpm). When driving last night in sport mode, cruising around 45-50 mph...

Yeah, I had the stock all-season Bridgestone Potenzas. Terrible. I?m sure a dedicated summer tire would be way better but given that half the year in WI is winter, I decided to stick with one tire instead of continual swaps. I did that with my WRX and it got old.

Hey. Sorry for not getting back to you guys. I did replace my tires with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3+ and feel like the road noise is definitely better though still suboptimal. Handling , however, is much improved. With the stock tires, I didn?t feel confident cornering with any gusto but...

Thanks for the comment. Yes, mine is AWD. Though the sound I?m hearing is when making very slow sharp turns, as in parking. So it seems less likely to be from AWD system, no?

I have a service appointment next week to look into it. I?ll keep you posted with what they find/say.

Yeah, I agree. As I was pulling into my driveway, I could replicate the sound at even a crawl. So there is no way this is just tire tread on pavement.

Thanks for the post. I did have mud guards applied but no other new suspension components. Does anyone else notice significant road/tire noise when making sharp turns to park?

I haven?t though I considered it. Is there a quick way to reset the ecu without having to disconnect the battery? The trunk location below the spare is annoying.

The saga continues with weird noises. Recently I noticed a progressive harsh/grinding sound when making tight turns at slow speeds. I have just over 1000 miles. I was hoping it was just the tire tread on a rough asphalt surface but I?ve continued to notice the sound on multiple pavement...

Update: Dealership replaced the center muffler. Initially I thought there was some improvement but sound is still there just like before. I?ll be updating Kia customer service later.

I still find the explanation puzzling, though as the sound is drawn out with slow release of the brake pedal. I asked about the brake calipers and they said everything looked good. Kia tech people say it?s caused by increased back pressure that occurs after highway driving that is then...

UPdate: Dealership used the chassis-ears and after replicating the sound, they localized it to the exhaust. So now they are going to wait to hear back from Kia about what fix, if any is recommended.

Interesting. I had found a similar bulletin for a 1999 Maxima.

Yeah, customer service from Kia direct has been top notch! They have gone out of their way to call me and my local dealership. Car is scheduled for more service in a few days and they are going to give me a rental while the Stinger is there. I just want to make sure they actually hear the...

Ok. Thanks. I have a vibration hum (that I posted about previously) that occurs when the brake pedal is slowly released after a complete stop but also is present when auto-hold disengages. I?m trying to figure out where it is originating and was hoping it was just the parking brake, as that...

Hey. Anyone know what brake (or brakes) are employed when auto-hold is initiated?

I just found this recall, which describes almost exactly what I?m experiencing. Obviously this is an old recall from a completely different car, but may still be helpful. I?ll have the dealership take a look at it. Since I don?t notice the problem unless I?ve done highway driving, I?m afraid...
