Wow, you guys are lucky. Mine has been sitting at dealer for 3 weeks as of today. Dropped it off afternoon of 08/15 was on vacation the next week, great idea I thought. I needed the recall performed and I have a small leak in the rear main seal area. They had to do an oil change and add dye. I just had the oil changed so I am guessing they will want pay for that. Also there is a sharp brake check jolt when slowing to a stop it is terrible in sport mode.
So they drove the car sent data to KIA the trans is ok so they just reprogrammed TCU. They then had to wait for the recall part. KIA should really have front-loaded these parts to dealers. This was the second week and this week the part was supposed to be in wed. There was no leak found initially and was told I may have to pickup and drive it for a couple of weeks and come back for eval; They eventually found leak evidence so that was kicked to KIA for warranty. They told me it would be ready this Saturday 8/31 earliest and Tuesday latest but don't hold them to it... So my car has been sitting in a lot for 3 weeks getting molested by nature when I have babied, hand washed and kept in a carport. So I can just see a flock of birds flying over and etching the living crap out of it. So maybe this will make yall feel better. 22 GT2 with 22k miles... Not buying a Hyundai/KIA again. No proactive contact from the service dept. The tech did call and text me but I don't have beef with him he is a nice guy. He seems to know what is up and tunes stingers on the side. I also knew going into this purchase that the Stinger IS a KIA. So I am not really surprised. Why did nI not go pick it up? A. It is 45 min away B. they always gave updates that kept things in limbo. I may appeal KIA for a car payment. Oh, and my damned brakes never got fixed from 5000mi. KIA offered a good faith replacement but the dealer closer to me dragged their feet about parts and never called so I just paid out of pocket to have them replaced with 3rd party parts. That is how I ended up at this dealer. Anyway, yeah this sucks and I feel we are gonna hit a big fat month on this. Later!
