Bad ball bearings???

If its her second car in a week im thinking its a bad batch and maybe dealer should source a new car from another dealer

I'm guessing you're talking about a wheel bearing. I have yet to hear of any failing on Stingers, though all manufacturers experience wheel bearing failures from time to time, even on newer vehicles. I've not heard of it being a common defect on Kias. If you otherwise like the car I wouldn't let it turn you off from the model.

Well , I’m not sure that’s totally correct. We never “signed” on the car. One of the perks of my husband working at a dealership, I guess. He tried to persuade me to get another mkz, but I’m not sure why I wanted another stin

You like the Stinger. Don't question it. That's a really cool advantage, having a direct "in" with the dealership. I'm sure your replacement car will be fine.

Haven't spotted a Stinger yet. But cars aren't particularly plentiful here, it is very expensive to own a car here as I understand it.

If memory serves (and it is a spotty "utility"), we have a Singapore member.

We do have a Singapore member and as pointed out the taxes on owning a vehicle are astronomical.

Well they did a dealer swap, because I wanted the white color.... but thank you for the replies, honestly I tuned out when the “children started to Bully” lol. I’m too old to deal with childish comments....but I want to say thank you to all the Genuine stinger friends out there.

I know this is old but my 2018 Stinger GT2 AWD just started having a grinding noise on the front right wheel of the car. It only really does it when the road is covered in thick water from a heavy rain or if there is snow on the right side of the road but not on the left. At first I thought it was possibly the AWD torque vectoring being off causing the caliper on the right wheel to overheat the rotor because when it happens the noise goes away the second I left off the throttle. I've had to pull over twice in heavy rain because the noise was so bad and I could smell burning. Now when I go over bumps on that side of the car there is a clunking sound. I think the torque vectoring may actually be one issue and it overheated the bearing causing another. Either way, it's a lease and under warranty so I'll be taking it in to get fixed. Anyone else have this kind of issue? Car has 25K miles on it.
