Kia Stinger in Florida, United States Nov 2017 - Jun 2018
Mar 2018 980 mi	This vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for the same issue. The rear hatch continues to make a groaning sound when on uneven roads. Two TSBs have been applied and I have been told that this time the problem has been resolved. Also, the headlights were badly misaligned and that problem has also been corrected.
Jun 2018 2000 mi	There is a problem with some, if not all, KIA Stingers where the audio fades to the back and then stays in that position until manually adjusted. It does not happen all the time and KIA is aware of the problem, but does not have a fix at this time. More annoying than anything, but still a problem that should be resolved.

Kia Stinger in Maryland, United States Jan 2018 - Jul 2021
Jul 2018 4600 mi	The audio system's fader switches all the sound to the far rear and center of the car intermittently every few times when I start the car. It takes me a while to notice that the sounds is off, and then I have to manually change the fader back to my preferred location. King Kia replaced a "head unit" and that seems to have sorted out the issue.
