For anyone experiencing this... two words: Ignition Coils.

This is driving me nuts.. if the car is in accessory mode audio is working fine.. but when I'm driving the car and listening to music via CarPlay the audio has been dropping out randomly since upgrading to iOS 18. Anyone else experiencing this? (2018 GT2)

SSIA I'm seeing this message when I try to run Vehicle Diagnostics on my 2018 Stinger.. I have the eServices app on my phone, it's running, but still I get this message. I saw only one other thread on this here that was more about UVO being worthless (which I cannot argue) but I'd still like...

I have a 2018 Stinger and that model DOES have traffic info and SiriusXM Infotainment available. That's why I asked here.. it worked previously.

Hello all I pay for SiriusXM on my 2018 GT2 but the other day I noticed that I do not seem to get any SiriusXM traffic updates.. I've tried re-sending the activation signal to the radio, etc.. Has this functionality been removed from radio in the Stinger, perhaps? How do I verify that my car...

I paid out of pocket and turned a claim into WSDOT.. a couple of reasons: - I have a higher deductible (and I keep the deductible in savings in the event I need it). - In Washington hitting a pothole is considered by insurance to be a single-party at fault accident. You have an inherent...

I figured I'd share my pain here.. I was on a highway in Washington this last weekend (for lack of a better term) going the limit (in that area 35MPH) and noticed what I thought was a 'worn' spot in the pavement. When my car made a loud SLAM sound I realized that was in error. The tire lost...

If you find yourself needing warranty work consider going to Kia of Puyallup.. I keep hearing nightmare stories from people who take their Kia's to Car Pros for anything warranty. Granted that's all anecdotal, but I can tell you I've had pretty good experience with Kia of Puyallup with respect...

Depending on traffic conditions, yes.. They have stuff set up to determine the maximum 'tolerance' before they go into HOV-Only by drivers.. turns out people will pay quite a bit to stay out of being bumper to bumper. My work pays for train passes and vanpools.. so I don't see myself needing...

Maybe great for buying from.. but not for service.. I've actually bought all three of my KIAs (first a Forte.. then a year later an Optima SX and now the Stinger) from Kia of Puyallup. Everyone I know who had dealt with Car Pros has been less than happy with them from a service point of view.

I'd *like* to put it right up WSDOT's keisters for this sham.. but that's another topic entirely. Thanks everyone.. :)

Hello everyone, I have to put a tollroad transponder in my Stinger called a 'flex pass'. The idea is to save some money pay a bit less on these tolls for all of the HOV lane and tunnel improvements going on in Seattle. You can read about the one I'm using called a "Flex Pass" here...

Greetings from Tacoma.. Bought a GT2 in August 2018.. been happy with it ever since.

Hey there Could use some help troubleshooting a potential problem with the Blind-spot collision warning detection. This morning as I was on the road I noticed that BCW wasn't working correctly.. it was turned on.. however it would not 'see' cars in the blindspot until I was about to hit them...

Well, after doing some reading and understanding what the sizes on the tires mean I can give more color.. I have the 19" Wheels.. And I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Front: 225 /40 ZR19 (93Y) Rear 255/35 ZR 19 (96Y) The wheel sizes I've seen that are 19" for the Ark are: 19X8.5 +35...
