Noticed the smell of antifreeze on my wife’s 2020 S AWD when I walked by it today. Car had been sitting for about 1.5 hours. No leaks. Coolant tank was basically empty. My wife and I both think you can smell it when driving. When we first night the car we took it to the dealership multiple times for what we thought was a lot of exhaust fumes when starting and driving the car. You can drive the car for hours and stop and still see viable fumes coming from it. Got under and grab some photo and noticed some oil ? Not sure what it is. Not sure what it is. Curious if anyone has had the same i ..read more

Hi everybody! New here, I believe I am getting a new car tomorrow, the Kia Forte5 LX Hatchback, and I was curious about a few things. And hoping some of yall more experienced with this vehicle or ones like it, could give some insight! First thing first, I realize the car doesn’t have Bluetooth? Would a “Apple CarPlay” fix this? So I would not need wires for it or an auxiliary cord anymore? Also, do yall just know any other tips and tricks or pros and cons I should know about this vehicle before purchasing? Again thanks for y’all time and any input you could provide!!! I’d love to hear an ..read more

I’ve been looking everywhere online but can’t seem to figure this out. My wife has a 2020 soul, and for whatever reason all other lights work, except the reverse lights. I’ve checked all the fuses, and I’ve checked both bulbs and they look fine. The reverse camera comes on as well, just no lights. Checked the plugs in the back with a multimeter while it was in reverse as well, with 0 voltage going to the plugs. submitted by /u/Ode_To_Darkness [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Have there been any leaks about the 2025 Kia Sportage? I’m hoping they bring a more aggressive look to the Sportage line (similar headlights to the sorento) I have a 2023 Sportage, and wish I would’ve opted for a sun roof and wireless CarPlay. If they redesign it for 2025, I will most likely upgrade. submitted by /u/foust52 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a 2016 Kia Optima LX with a 2.4L engine. I recently found out my engine oil was extremely low, had to be about a quart left. I get my oil changed by 1 shop only, before going back I went to an auto parts store to ask some questions first. They say of course my engine is low, lower than even the low marking on the dip stick where only the tip gets most of the oil. We agreed the shop definitely did something wrong here, but when I take it back to them, they say my engine is burning oil. They then talk a lot of smack of Kia/Hyundai engines. I understand Kia's have the potential to burn ex ..read more

Fuel pump seems easy to replace, but it is also recommended to replace the high pressure fuel line at the same time. I cannot find any tutorials online on how to do this. Do I need to drop the tank? If so, what could happen if I don’t replace the old line? Dropping the tank changes the job from 30 minutes to several hours. submitted by /u/Successful_Ad4445 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I currently have deposits on 2 Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige models. The wait list around me is 6+ months so I am covering my bases to make sure I can actually get my hands on it. Do you love yours? Do you have buyers regret? One is Shadow Matte Gray and the other is Black. Does anyone have the matte? How hard is it to maintain it? Just looking for overall thoughts, thanks! submitted by /u/LisaP2200 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
