2018 Kia STINGER

  • Date of Incident: Dec-10, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-14, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

Oil pressure switch is bad. Kia had a recall begin july 3, 2029 that the part was faulty and did extend to eligible vehicles to 15 years or 150,000 miles. This part is known problem in the make and model of the kia stinger and i now have this issue with my 2018 stinger gt2 with 115,000 miles. Many complaint on forums related to this but it seems that kia has selected specific vehicles only. Oil light comes on when care is stopped at an idle. Then goes off and does happen when car is cold.
