@@draxuno, if a car has problems, of course it has to be fixed. I don't blame the mechanic. I blame the manufacturer. My problem is when a dishonest mechanic wants to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Example: replacing belts, bearings, tie rods, brake pads etc. when they are still in good working order. Many mechanics/dealers often recommend unnecessary repairs so they can make money.

I own a 2011 Kia Sorento with over 250k on it now. Besides minor work due to wear and tear that I have done in the garage at home, zero issues. So many cars and trucks have passed through my possession over the years, and I am still absolutely surprised the old Kia Sorento has been the most reliable and durable. In my experience, every car brand will have serious issues with their car lines from time to time. And none of them will own up to the issues and properly take care of their customers. Despite doing your best research, buying a vehicle is unfortunately a very expensive roll of the dice - and a game most of us have to play.

I bought 2 brand new kia Sorentos. First one was a 2018 and was a great car. Non turbo, we traded it in at 60k miles for a 2021 Sorrento with a turbo. The trans started slipping at 25k miles. It also had a problem where it would go into "limp" mode sometimes under boost when passing another car. They gave us the run around time and time again. Never fixed that car. I traded it for a F150 and couldn't be happier.

I believe Kia went downhill in quality around 2020. I have a 2011 Kia Sedona van w/168k barely any issues (one issue under warranty) and the Kia dealer still wants me to come trade in for a newer model. Gets good mpg 23 or so and is reliable. I think that in my experience Toyota, Honda and then Mazda is the top 3 non domestic brands, and still make them great & long lasting vehicles. Just got a 2024 Camry Night edition and love it (35-40 mpg)

Scotty you're spot on man, I work at Hyundai and have complained several times that an oil change interval of 7,000 miles is simply too long between oil changes, especially when people think they can still drive 2,000 over that! And surprise surprise when I check the oil and filter on these brand NEW cars, metal! Hyundai and Kia are shooting themselves in the foot by having to change out an engine instead of just giving out a few more 5k oil changes, instead of trying to be cheap and make them 7,000 miles out!

I have a 2019 Toyota Camry. The owner's manual says that the car can be driven 10,000 miles between oil changes, and they recommend oil changes at 10K miles. While the oil is still pretty clean looking at 5,000 miles, I change it at that point to be safe. I won't get to 6K miles before I change the oil. I know Camrys are awesome cars mechanically, and can run almost forever, but I don't trust 10K oil change intervals. Also, the oil life meter comes on around 4,400 to 4,600 miles after an oil change. So that is strange as well if the manual recommends 10K miles.

Cars are always good for a suprise. I live in Germany where most people have a different view on cars as Scotty or Americans have. But Toyota is seen as a reliable brand here as well. But for decades most Germans thought their brands were the best in the world, while american were unreliable gashogs. Well some are this way. I was the first one in our familiy, in fact the whole street, maybe the whole village, who bought an american car in the 90s. It was a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced in the US but for europeuan market. And turbocharged Diesels were very popular these days. So it had a 2.5 Litre 115 HP turbo diesel from VM (italian motor company) which suprisingly had the same torque as the usual 4.0 litre six cylinder gas. I bought the Jeep in 1999 and drove it for 21 years. Finally the turbocharger broke down. I sold it, because diesel engines are now very expensive (680 Euro tax per year!) and it was not easy in the last years to get spare parts. I will never forget this go-anywhere american masterpiece. I drove it from Germany to the Trollstigen pass, from north to south Germany, used it for chopped wood, plaster stones, moving... All my friends bought 2 or 3 different cars (mostly German brands) in that time, as the cars broke down or make them unsatisfied. Even our family Mercedes Benz did not survived 19 years. That Jeep never burned oil.

The 1st time I took it back to Sports Durst NC, coincidentally, 3 native Korean engineers were visiting the dealer at the very same day and we all took the car for a spin. I felt relieved when they later took the car in to the shop for a day but unfortunately the transmission issues persisted and was never resolved even after numerous complaints.

actually a state trooper friend of mine said they called in "Killed in Accident" cause when they come up to a crash involving a KIA, that is what happens...

I just bought a Kia Soul used. So far I love it. I owned two Ford Festivas made by KIA in the 80s and loved them, too.

Oil burners should consider getting the oil analyzed, it only cost about $50 and it can tell you a lot where the defects could be.

want to have fun, take 4 oil samples from the same car at the same time and send them in to the lab, more fun, use 4 different labs, see what they send you. do not tell them it's from the same car.

@@snapon1974 there is no certification agency to check the labs assay for consistency, but you can ask the lab if their gear are trace calibrated to conform to ASTM standards; the trends are more important than a single result, enjoy

Lol. Each lab's "standard" 'analyzation' process is a complete joke! Please tell me you don't pay to have your oil analyzed by these scams and then take the results seriously!!

Scotty, Here is a idea to have proof that the transmission has been opened and worked on. Take some good blue enamel paint and paint a long mark on where the transmission seals are on the housing. If the marks are broken the transmission housing has been opened. Tell your Hundya owner to do that before he takes it back for another transmission repair. Then check it for him. Another thing you can do right now is look at if the bolts have been worked on.

I’ve owned 3 KIAs. Always changed the oil at 5K. Always had the 2.4 liter engine. I test drove the 2.0 liter & didn’t like it. Never had a problem with the 2.4 liter & they didn’t use any oil but never drove longer than 75K & then traded-in. The service is not as good as it used to be. Overall KIA is not that bad but could be better if they focused more on their customers. Out of the 3 vehicles I owned, one wheel sensor went bad. No other issues.

Interesting... Though Kia/Hyundai has like 3 completely different 2.4 liter engines and 2.0 engines from 2004-2015 or so. Oldest, Sirius is Mitsubishi engine. And two later, Beta (2.0) and Delta (2.4 an2.7) are solid quality engines as well. The problematic ones are Theta models, that come in both 2.0 and 2.4 liter, and are completely new desing. Nu engine also has 2.0 variant, that's been subject to recall.

OMG you are so right about Jeep. I had a 2005 Grand Cherokee and so many things were wrong with it I told the guy I sold it to that I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention some of it because there is just too much wrong with it to remember. His brother apparently liked to rebuild Jeeps so good luck to that guy! Also one morning at about 1am I randomly lost all exterior lights. It happened once and never happened again thankfully.
