Looks like theirs about 6 years worth of bad parts on both these companies. Lots of mechanics won't work on them and telling owners to trade them in and get another brand.
Yeah, newer Kia’s are… Alright I guess? But it used to be so bad that mechanics would joke that “KIA” was short for “Killed In Action” because they’d tow so many in from the sides of highways.
Can confirm called that here as well. My parents owned a 2003. Worst car they owned. Currently, My neighbors 2018 had been in the shop nearly every month this year.
My neighbors have a little Hyundai SUV, it has that 1.6 GDI engine and they say you have to top the oil up every time you put gas in it. A quart every 300 miles. Its not that old, either. They want to get rid of it, but the price of cars has been a bit silly lately.
