2018 Kia Stinger GT Alex Nishimoto

摘要

Over the past couple of months, the Stinger developed an intermittent noise coming from the window frames. You'd always hear a creaking sound when turning into a driveway, but some days the windows would squeak constantly above 35 mph. Because I had to head into the dealer anyway for a technical service bulletin dealing with the hatch, I made an appointment to get the noise checked out, as well. Luckily, the windows were extra squeaky the day I took the Stinger in; the service adviser heard the noise right away. He estimated the service, including the tailgate job, would take four hours. Sensing my surprise, he told me it was because there was only one Stinger specialist, and he wasn't in yet. I thought it was strange that the dealer website would let me schedule service for a Stinger before the Stinger specialist was on duty, but I handed over the keys and headed to the waiting room.
