Thought it would be interesting to see the spread of build dates among us Stinger owners / forum members, once you have cast your vote, please post a message stating which build date your Stinger is, if you wish too, it would be interesting to find out who has the first , to the most popular build dates.
Ok , i have searched for any other post in regards to Build Date, only found one , not like this post.
Finally, if you post a message with your build date, you can mention any or no issues .
 
Oct.17...No Issues.
 
Ok, my Stinger build date is JAN 2018, i chose Deep Chroma Blue, and no issues so far. Also i purchased my Stinger on 02 NOV 2017, but was prepared to wait that time for a JAN 2018 build Stinger.

I have had 2 Stingers.
A 2018 2.0 Micro Blue Premium with a Build date of Nov 2017 with major paint issues all over including the headlight "rub" under the driver's side headlight..
The second is my current Stinger, a 2018 Micro Blue GT2 with a build date of Dec 2017 with no issues except the same (very small compared to the Premium) headlight "rub".
 
June 2018. No issues so far!
 
March 18, no issues aside from almost invisible headlight rub in the paint and some quirks with Apple Carplay.

Still loving my Stinger!

Nov. 2017, lessee, fuel rail replaced, transmission logic reboot, 2 wastegate failures, hatch rattle,and a fuel pump replacement . This was from the service dept. of the original dealer, car was returned under the lemon law and all defects were repaired.....car went to auction, picked up by another kia dealer and then I came along. Bought it on the spot thousands less than new , and put over 2000 miles on her so far with zero issue's....and I'm not a candy ass, I treat it like the hemi I traded it in for to get it!!!

Why do we get two votes? We can only have one build date. Unless you are catering to the two members who have two Stingers? Or those who have traded/replaced their first Stinger with a second one? (I guess that's the reason.)

February 2018. Zero issues. I hesitate to say that my car is perfect, but it feels like it to me.

Absolutely correct.:)
 
Oct 17 Black GT1 with paint issues on every side except for the top afaik.

What was the issue with the other build date thread? I don't remember if that one was specifically for people with Stingers that have paint issues though.

EDIT: Oh, if this is all issues, then I also have a very noisy moon roof and the area between the rear spoiler and the glass of the hatch is separating from the car, Kia has yet been able to fix it.
