Kia car

Sportage QL SLi 2WD, 2.0L Petrol, Automatic (2015-2021)

Hi
it is 3 months that my cars control panel has damaged. I take it to Kia black burn Melbourne and they told me that they ordered a part and will call me after about 6 weeks.
After six weeks they called me and I took my car there, and after one day ( without giving me a substitute car) they said:” it’s not received yet”!
And it’s again 7 weeks that I am waiting!!
I will sell it and never buy Kia again.
It’s the second major defect It has had!

Neck ache - headrest

Sportage QL SLi 2WD, 2.0L Petrol, Automatic (2015-2021)

Bad neck ache -- as a result, dizziness -- due to headrest [head restrainer] protruding too far out. Sold the SUV in 3 months. Everything was fantastic, but just the headrest.

Hi I have the new Kia Sportage Gt line, it is almost unsafe how the car engages your break when it senses another car behind it when reversing. How do I turn this off?

AdrianK

I've had the Sportage for over a year and haven't had the problem you mention. Or at least I haven't regarded it as a problem. I just get the normal audible warnings escalating until I break. It did stop me reversing into my recycling bin once by breaking for me. Maybe yours is cutting in too soon - might be worth having Kia check it out. I'm not aware of a way to turn it of and I wouldn't want to anyway.

Is the diesel GT suitable for low km driving. Are there any issues with the filters .

Robert

How low are you talking. With diesel you need to have a nice drive say around 15 mins minimum highway speed fortnightly to burn the DPF. If you are in constant stop start traffic and do less than 15k a year I suggest a petrol if buying new due to cost difference. But diesel are nicer to drive hence why I like them and buy diesels.
