2019 Kia Stinger Engine Problems

“Received a recall notice for my vehicle, stating that there is a major issue with the engine, and they are prone to catching fire - and that the vehicle should be parked outside. I contacted my dealership to ask for any other information, and was specifically told to bring my car in to their dealership (where I purchased the car brand new just a year prior). Upon arriving at the dealership, I was told that there was nothing that could be done, and I should drive my flammable, 2019 vehicle home. …”

“My vehicle was stopped at an intersection coming off interstate this evening and my car just just down as the light turned green. I tried to start it 3x and 4th time I opened the door and shut it and then it started. 3 days ago I got a voice warning something is wrong w the engine control system. Took it to dealership and their system is down but said it could be because fuel was low and dirt could have cause the warning. They called saturday to check on me and it was fine until today. I will have it towed to dealetship. …”

“On feb 18, 2020 the car had a throttle hesitation and cut off in traffic while turning through an intersection and when started again had check engine light and car went into limp home mode. Car had error codes p061b, p0172, p0175, p2180, p2178. Kia advised to not drive the car and have it towed to dealer. I was told there was a loose wire connection and dealer supposedly fixed it. On march 23, 2020, car was running with rough idle and check engine light came on pulling codes p0108 and p0068. Car was able to be driven to dealer and dealer could not find the issue. …”

“I brought my vehicle in for the recall SC300 and they discovered that my oil pressure switch is leaking which is on top of the engine. This is causing a leak and oil pressure light to come on intermittently. Same part as the Kia Sorento, cadenza, and the Sedona that all had the warranty extended recall to 15 years or 150,000 miles. Every Kia forum has people complaining about the same issue and being charged $3000-5000. This can cause an engine fire if left unchecked just like the recall SC300. …”

“I have been notified by Kia that there is a recall causing engine fires back in november 2020. I have been trying now with two dealerships for months to get it fixed. I am told they either don't have the part and I can't make an appointment or when I make the appointment and show up, they don't fix it. Kia consumer affairs told me they need to fix it but I have no resolution. I get put on 30 minute+ hold times with the dealerships or a voicemail with no call backs.”
