Loved the stinger since the introduction and now our 4th Kia...When the 2012 EX premium was about done with 70k miles grabbed the 2020 with 11,900 miles during the hottest and smokiest summer here in Reno. Other half got the 2017 SXL Optima and I'm driving the 2020stinger...
Question...anyone else have really rough idling when cold?? so much I put it in neutral at the stoplights? 2.0 RWD with 16,000 miles..? Thinking I may have a broken motor mount...?
 
Coldest I've driven the 2.5 so far is at ~32F. I let it warm up for about 60-90 seconds then go gently. No vibrations. Car has ~2500 miles on it, 2.5T awd.

Wouldn't a broken motor mount make itself known at all times, not just when the car is cold. Car is under warranty? Bring it in.

I agree with @JSolo warranty stuff. Has it always been that way or did it just start?
Welcome to the forum
 
Howdy and welcome. Rough idling afflicts individual vehicles across all brands. If it goes away as the drivetrain reaches operating temperatures, and nothing else to complain about, I'd just live with it. Could be that "rough" to you is business as usual to others: you know how sensitive we are to certain things. :thumbup:

Hey renoaaron,

Welcome to the Stinger Forum and congrats on your new 2.0 Kia Stinger.

I am not sure about the idling issue in the cold but we are able to help you out with any aftermarket needs.

If you have any questions at any time about modifications send me a message and I would be glad to help out.

I do my best to give forum members a discount on their purchases so make sure to utilize that if you are interested.

Enjoy the new ride,

Daniel @ the K8 Stinger Store

Sorry about the smoke this past summer :). I live about 8 miles from where the Caldor fire started, but fortunately the prevailing winds took it away from us, but Reno got the smoke. I did a day trip to Reno (over hwy 88 Carson Pass) shortly before the fire encroached on it and they closed it. The smoke was really bad.
 
worst smoke ever in utah this year, since ive been here anyway. supposedly all came from california and idaho.
