17 Days Later finally get my car back

[Redhead Stinger]

So finally today after the Dealership having my car for 17 days it is finally (fingers crossed) fixed. My Stinger was having the studdering on acceleration issue. Only happened after the car sat for awhile and when it was cold. The dealer couldn't recreate the issue (I live in Florida not that many cold days) but after doing every test known to man - a flight data test, fuel test, 5hr graph test and sending all that data to KIA, KIA wanted them to replace the fuel pumps (low pressure & high pressure) of course they didn't have them in stock and had to ground ship them from California. Once they put the low pressure pumps in everything stabilize and to quote the Service Manager "the hoses stopped bouncing around" and apparently now the car drives even better than when i brought it in. He thinks the low pressure fuel pump was starting to go but not bad enough to throw a code yet. Guess we will see. Fingers and toes crossed.

I hope your car troubles are put to rest now. Time to enjoy the Stinger now!

Thank You I hope so too. I didn't enjoy the Forte I have been driving.

I can imagine. Too bad it wasn't the new Forte coming out soon because that one is a big bump in feature and quality. Still nothing to compare to a Stinger but would have been less painful I guess.

Ughhhh my car is even dirtier than it went in even though they did a new car detail and the best thing is they left me a going away present of dirt/smudge marks on my headliner. Yea me.

Take that right back and tell them to fix it. That is just unacceptable...

Oh trust me I will. I had issues getting my car in for service to the point I was dealing with the new car sales manager and the service manager and I will only deal with them but unfortunately the service manager is on vacation. I hope he enjoys his vacation because he is going to get an earful from me when he gets back. I will make them restore that car to the condition it came in to them in.
