Satisfaction survey

[CoconutRob]

To all stinger owners. How satisfied are you with your stinger? Please respond with model and description of any issues. Please take everything into consideration (just car not dealership or service)

Biggest beefs:
1. Mirrors accidentally fold many times when I enter the car.
2. Paint needs to be thicker (or an additional clear-coat).
3. Faster voice recognition (Android Auto is fine, its the Stinger's native system that's slow).
4. Hood vents should be functional!
5. . . . hard to think of anything else (yet).

My only gripe:
Hatch Rattle Noise - was fixed at dealer but has slowly came back. Need to take it in again...

My only gripe is from the surging when cruise control is active.

Previously I had hatch rattle but it went away after I backed out the bump stops a bit.

Hatch rattle (although now that's fixed); mirrors occasionally fold for no reason when I get in the car; UVO plays USB songs in alphabetical order instead of as they were on the albums; radio occasionally has no sound at start-up and must be turned off and back on again; paint chips on front of hood; seat side bolsters too easily scuffed; soft metal on center console too easily dented by seat belt or other metal; head light dead spots (left at 10 o'clock and right at 2 o'clock); one noticeably hard shift into maybe 3rd or 4th gear on the first drive after the car sits overnight and then it's fine the rest of the day.

Only issue has been the hatch rattle. Have taken twice for repair and starting to hear slight rattle again this week.

After the two Kia recommended fixes failed, my dealer fixed the issue by breaking the spot welds to the inside of the body to allow the various pieces to be fully adjustable. It worked well. Rattle is gone and the hatch sits nice and snug.

Thank you, I will mention it to the service department. They only have one Stinger certified mechanic.
