A Kia Addition...New Memeber of the Stinger Family

[Jaymorz]

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends - I sure am!

I'm delighted to say I traded in my 2011 3.8 GT Genesis Coupe for a 2018 Kia Stinger Ceramic Silver GT2 AWD w/ all the goodies you can imagine! I've been car shopping for a few years and the stinger is a sure choice in my book!

Unfortunately, like many others - I've had to keep my new vehicle at the dealership for some time to deal with many of the "first year model" nuisances. And by some time I mean nearly 3 weeks.

That is not to say my ownership experience isn't impressive thus far! I purchased the car back at the end of July and turned it in for repairs/service 2 weeks later.

Kia Motors Consumer affairs has been extremely helpful in assisting me on the issues! I couldn't be more thrilled! I know I'm rolling the dice by buying a first of it's kind car but the stinger has won me over and i'll embrace the journey ahead!

Congrats and welcome! What sort of trouble did you experience?

Thanks everyone!

I had a bit of paint peel by the driver side headlight. Also by the driver side door sill had a paint chip. Headlights were misaligned with the front bumper. And the rear seats had indentations (my guess from folding them down).

I've noticed hyper sensitive reverse sensors & "cracking/popping" noises when playing audio - either radio or itunes.
None of those issues I've mentioned to the dealership yet. Figured they would fix themselves over time

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Sorry to hear about the issues - but I'm glad to hear you're otherwise happy with the Stinger...
