Hi All, One of my tires got hit by a nail. Now the tire needs to be replaced, i only have about 15000 miles on it. Tires are goodyear aassurance finesse. 235/60R18 103H. Whereever i go they are not replacing a single tire and also cost for the single tire is about 300. They want me to replace all four tires i dont want to replace all 4 of them as its too costly for me right now. What are my options, any suggestions to just replace the two. What do you guys think as to how much factory... Tires issue on my 2023 kia sportage SX prestige hybrid AWD ..read more

The title is poorly worded due to lack of length. As you all know, here in Florida we get hurricanes which can cause power outages for a couple days at a time. The last time I was without power for 24 hours or so I had my old 2008 Kia Sorento. I didn't bother with any amenities (fridge, A/C, etc), but I did use a DC inverter to run my fiber modem/router. That way I had wifi and could stream TV shows on my iPad (it was a very boring 24 hours). I would run it for a few hours, then start the...

Hi All, I haven't seen any threads addressing this for the '23 Sportage hybrid. Has anyone tried successfully unzipping the audio Gen2 download file from Kia.com. I can download but when trying to open it, it asks for a password. Any help would be appreciated. See attachment ..read more

I have been hearing a draggy noise when I drive my 2023 Sportage from 60 MPH to 70 MPH with the noise more pronounced at around 65. Kia dealer says there is a bent in my front wheel. Now, the car has just 7.5K miles on it and I have been hearing this for a long time. My driving is mostly city and I don't remember hitting that particular wheel in a pothole. It's more of a draggy noise than vibration so not sure if it's the wheel, getting a second opinion. Anyone with similar experience? How... draggy noise while driving between 60-70 ..read more

Can anyone shed light on why my phev motor sometimes runs when the battery is fully charged and the vehicle is set to electric only mode? This is from my garage - no AC, no heavy acceleration, etc.. I have made many trips of under 35 miles in electric mode without the motor running at all - however sometimes the motor runs and I have to stop & restart the car several times to get it to stop. My local dealer says this is likely normal operation - they will try to duplicate the issue but will... 2023 Sportage PHEV x-line prestige electric mode ..read more

Just bought the 2023 Sportage EX. It has Kumho 103H 18" tires. I had never heard of them but from what I read these are good tires. I checked the tire pressure on the dashboard and the tires are all around 44lbs. The door post says the tires should be at 35 pounds. Did the dealer over-inflate on purpose or are these tires supposed to be at higher pressure? I will check the tires with a tire gauge when it gets a little warmer here in Iowa ..read more

Hi all, I'm a new member, recently got a used 23 sportage in January of this year. I didn't realize until after purchase that the previous owner replaced the front windshield, and after a few trips to the dealer (one of which was getting ripped off being told the leaking was due to clogged sunroof drains that they charged me to clean), I finally know I have a leak in the top seal of the front windshield. The sportage has a rubber seal/trime along the entire length of the top of the... 2023 Sportage Winshield leak after replacement ..read more

My Sportage didn't come with the adaptive cruise control, which was fine at the time, but now I'm having second thoughts on losing this feature ... Is there any way to upgrade the system to "unlock" that feature so to speak? (I know, probably a pipe dream but thought I would inquire). Thanks in advance ..read more
