So I have a 2019 Stinger GT1 Awd with 7000 miles on the car. My
mods are the AEM intake, ARK downpipe and a catch can...no other modifications stock tune. Driving on the highway the other day in Eco mode around 75-80 mph then a bunch of dash lights came on, I lost acceleration power which I’m assuming was “limp mode”. Pulled over and restarted with just a check engine light on and it seemed to drive fine but took it easy.
Dropped it off at the dealer and they let it sit overnight and when they started it in the morning, the engine light had gone away but the code was still in storage. It’s a code relating to the MAF Sensor and they’re saying it was caused by the intakes which is understandable but I’ve never heard of anyone else having problems from intakes...Next they were considering opening the issue with the techline and mentioned that with the
mods I have KIA could flag the car and Void the entire warranty...(What?) I told them to just clear the code and drive it to see if it would happen again. They’re going cover the diagnostics/service under the warranty but if it happens again it’s on me and I’ll have to return the car to stock.
Anyone have any information about the MAF sensor and can clarify the warranty “flagging” system KIA uses for cars with any modifications?
