It sucks to be the one who got the lemon.
Didn’t get a lemon. Got a black Dodge Caravan GT as my rental car from Kia. Good news is it gets better gas mileage than my Stinger !

All stuff my Stinger has gone in for have well documented recalls and problems across numerous Stingers made in 2017. So far think I avoided any big issues with my paint. Just a couple little chips and crap under paint. Sure hope others who got cars built later are doing better than us pioneers who bought early.

Have to say nothing major mechanically has gone wrong yet just lots of small irritating issues and piss poor experience at Kia dealers.
 
Since I don’t have my Stinger again for days thought I’d post a review of my rental car. Man this Caravan GT has huge amount of cargo space when all seats are down. Way more than Stinger!

Well, yeah. But I hope you're not asserting that the Stinger can't decide what it is, by pretending to be a van.

I had a '97 Grand Caravan and with the two rear rows of seats removed, you could stack 4' x 8' sheets of building materials in the back (I did, often). It was also a great dirt bike hauler, as the subsequent owner used it for..

Yeah I had no idea! When all seats are down it’s pretty incredible. Now just think if I didn’t have Stinger I would have never known about cargo space in the Dodge Caravan. Stinger is sort of a Halo car for rental fleets around US! So far I have been introduced to Hyundai Accent and Dodge Grand Caravan GT. Would have never got chance to drive those with my Porsche’s when they go into service as Porsche forces me to drive another Porsche. The nerve!

Day 4 without my Stinger and they haven't been about to fix sunroof yet. I'm starting to like this Dodge mini van however. It has features my GT2 is missing like heated steering wheel and captain chairs. I like the 115 volt AC outlets too!

Look under the engine..
 
Yes tray that attached under engine. Dealer didn’t attach it well and it flew off on drive home after my first warranty repairs on the car. So they replaced with new one.
