BUYER BEWARE

INTO THE VOID

Kia gives the Stinger a seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty, but any work completed outside of the service schedule could void this, so carefully check the service history of any prospective purchase.

SHORT CIRCUIT

A recall was issued for 283 cars last year, as the electrical circuit in the hydraulic electronic control unit could short-circuit. The repair involves a replacement multi-fuse assembly, and owners can get it free of charge from a Kia dealer.
