You didn't cover the radar plate on the front with a license plate did you?

He’s gonna kill you for that comment! Lol

I think it’s got the point where a visit to the dealer is warranted as you won’t get answers here. It’s amazing how many quirks this car has got. Kia should give us all a research discount on the next model as we have found all the bugs for them. I think they will change the look of the next one like they did with the Optima, let’s hope they don’t wreck it!
Oh yeh, I hope they put another layer of paint on it too!

I wasn't being mean at all, sorry if you took it that way. The parking sensors are independent of the automatic braking.. The parking sensors are turned on and off by the "P" button in the line on the center console with the heated seats buttons. That is easy to accidentally turn off, but that would not keep your automatic braking from working, that is controlled by the radar plate in the center of the upper grill.

You should change your screen name to ‘crashingaddict’ as a joke!!

Thats very funny and helpful....as this is the first time i have ever had a car accident and im just sick about it. But yes, a**hole comments definitely help. I do not need additional driver education....and im well aware that all the safety features dont mean i sit back and take a nap while i drive. Thats not the kind of car i would want anyways. I am simply inquiring if anyone else was having issues. Yes its on me to stop the vehicle and avoid the accident.....but there are now features in place on cars, that I paid for, to help avoid such accidents. And when those features dont work at all then i want to know why. I was under the impression this was a forum to gain knowledge and learn about the Stinger from one another. I didnt realize it was designed to make fun of others, be condescending, and make overall a**hole comments. I am taking the car into a dealership and yes they said they have heard of one other Stinger car where the sensor settings reset without owner input. Ill make sure to laugh when it happens to someone else and they already feeling pretty shitty about the situation because thats what this forum is for!

You can test the panic stop feature by setting up a stack of cardboard boxes and running into them. Make darn sure your seatbelt is on because the car will surprise you how fast it detects them and applies brakes.

I hear you. Hopefully it all goes well and you can get it looking brand new again. Really odd about the warning systems also. Definitely something to look in to even if you cannot determine any errors occurred. That kind of thing is what class action lawsuits are made of.

I can 100% guarantee that you will laugh about this in *about* 2 weeks time. Lighten up, accidents happen. At least no one got hurt (except the car). This is the Internet, people here are inherently out for themselves and revel in others' misfortunes. Don't take it personally, none of us know you.

If you go into Internet communities with this sort of attitude, you're going to have a bad time.

You are obviously competent and very intelligent and articulate. You remind me of my daughter, who drives with my heart in my throat: a rear-ender waiting to happen. She follows too close and drives too fast. Disastrous combination, the worst and most common! Back off before you enjoy your addiction or this will happen again. That's the lesson to take home. Sensors are a device that will "go to sleep" for no reason and without warning. I don't even have them on my car (other than parking). I don't want them. They are a false sense of security. Make your car pretty again, and have FUN! (Btw, I gave you an "agree" on this post you made, because the tone was justified and very well said.)

I think the negativity might have sent her away.

She had a valid concern, and a comment in jest here and there is fine, but she clearly stated she knew what the settings were and people still piled on.

Now we likely have a former member who has a bad opinion of internet forums, and we won't find out what was the final resolution - which many have benefited many of us.
