Used '23 Stinger GT seat bolstering and other issues

[Brandon8050]

I'm looking at a '23 Stinger GT Elite, 35,000 km on it. After taking it for a test drive there was a few issues, maybe some of you could help me out addressing them.

1. I noticed that the seat bolstering wants to be always inflated. As far as I believe it only does this in sport mode and if you have it set in custom mode. When put in comfort mode you can feel it deflate but immediately starts reinflating afterwards, it does this in any mode.

2. It has 35k on it, and what seems like warped rotors when breaking hard from a higher speed. Getting that wooming sound when slowing down. Too low of kilometers to have this issue?

3. I took it for a pretty good rip, drove and it felt good. I popped the hood when I got back and it seemed like I could smell burning coolant or something? Didn't smell inside the car only on the outside when I opened the hood not sure if this is normal or not.


If anyone has experienced any of these in could let me know their thoughts that would be great. Thanks

The driver seat can be programed. The brakes on these cars when equipped with the Brembo package have a soft

compound and imbed brake medium on the rotors which causes the pulsing on the brake pedal under hard braking. These cars underneath

the hood are hotter than the sun when driven hard....TWIN TURBOS... There are posts about how to rebed the brakes on

this websites forums or you could just switch out the pads and resurface the rotors or just get different ones if that is

what you want to do. Most Stingers got abused at a young age and so with that you most always find that the brakes

do this. Whatever you decide to do, the Stinger is a edgier brother to the Genesis G70 and is a great car with a proven

platform (Lambda). Just keep in mind that some things on these cars are expensive to replace.. Just my opinion! Good luck!

When drivers have pad deposit issues with the OE pads, that usually manifests within the first 10-20K miles. Sometimes even right out of the gate before the 600 miles "break in" period is through. It all comes down to how you use the brakes. Mine, still original, have gone 80K miles and are still slowly "eroding". Between oil services when the pad thickness is checked typically I lose only a fraction of a millimeter. Last time last year I still had c. 6mm thickness all around.

Ima guessing that somebody spilled coolant and it's burning off.
