Wastegate issue

[Kevin H]

So my 2019 gt2 with roughly 5000 miles is in the shop due to a fluttering / chirp on acceleration in 6th gear roughly 25-40 mph. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue?Its the 2nd time now that my car is in the shop for the issue. They supposedly had engineers come look at it, recently called the dealership and the man I spoke to said engineers drove a few of them and they all do it. I'm calling BS as my co worker has one that I couldn't replicate it in.

No "chirps" here. No turbo noise. I might have heard the faintest whine in TX a month ago, once, and instantly thought of "the other wastegate thread", wondering if I was starting to hear "it" too. But I think it must have been some outside noise instead.

It's pretty noticable, when I was looking at the stinger I test drove it 2 times at different dealerships. I never once heard the sound. I know about the other thread of a sound when the car shuts off but it's completely quiet other than parking brake. I really hope Kia makes it right as I really love the brand...

hmmm why would you be accelerating in 6th gear in the 25-40 mph range?

When I went from Auto to using paddle shifters it would start me in 5 or 6th gear in that mph range.

Was this issue ever fixed? Having a similar problem with my wastegate or BPV.
