• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

The Force has left me i off to the horizontal world.
 
From what i saw YES, but the guy who got banned who contacted me i didn't see his offences. Im not saying he didn't but those that did were crossing double white lines and speeding by a big margin. The overtaking was dangerous and people were racing each other.
Did that happen on the way up from Sydney? I saw the Rafa overtaking once or twice on the way up to the valley, but don’t recall the double white line bit. I did notice them riding a bit close to the car in front now and again and remember thinking it’d piss me off if they were doing that behind me. As for the speeding/racing there really wasn’t an opportunity on the section I drove due to the narrow and winding road and how close the group kept.
 
Kia issued a recall of 2018 Stingers in which 16,011 were potentially affected. It was over a front end faulty wiring harness that was at risk of catching fire due to a manufacturing error. One car caught on fire, but all vehicles had to be checked and new wiring harness put in.
Not in Australia, it affected LHD models
 
The article related back to cars of around 2014- 2015 era so it didn't relate to the Stinger. Ive never heard of any current Kia's or Hyundai's having issues.
NSW Police had a Kia Sorento that randomly burst into flames while being driven late last year in Sydney. That’s the only one I’ve heard of.

From memory most of the action happened when we left the cafe area where we met you. If i recall you were a couple of cars behind me and from what i saw was some cars overtaking over double white lines at high speed.

On the way to the cafe from Sydney i was the last or second last car so i don't know what happened up towards the front. What i do know was the FB admin people were seething afterwards.

I was only aware of 2 Hyundai directly in front and the other behind me both warming their tyres by weaving a lot but I didn't see anything else.

I was right behind you, don’t recall anyone crossing the white lines. My dash cam from the drive is long gone, it records over itself when the SD card is full.

Do you remember the Hyundai I30n's passing us i think they run out of overtaking lane and may have crossed white lines. At one stage i think they got to be two a breast.

No not really. I vaguely remember a couple of cars overtaking but not sure when or who. I do recall seeing the Rafa overtaking someone in front of us. Anyway it doesn’t matter.
