How does Kia drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Kia drivetrain system?

Your Kia Stinger drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Kia Stinger differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Stinger’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Stinger can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Stinger malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Stinger?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Stinger. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Stinger.

Is my Stinger’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Stinger includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Stinger forward.
