this was at my tour of the IIHS facility. I dont even think this car is being sold yet

Hey,

I don’t know much about this kind of stuff, but I just hopped in my car and noticed that there is new screen damage to the top right of my screen in my 2021 Kia Forte.

I haven’t wiped it down recently at all and have never used harsh chemicals on it either, so I’m just trying to figure out what caused it.

It’s been over 100 degrees where I’ve been this week and my car has been sitting in the hot sun for multiple hours each day, but I don’t think heat has anything to do with it?

Again, no liquid has come in contact with it at all, so I’m just baffled.

Anybody know what caused it?

Thanks in advance :)

Anyone who uses hand controls to drive with a Kia EV? I love my Kia Niro EV so much but I need hand controls to drive now and do not want to give her up.
I know it’s niche but I am determined to make it work. (Picture is what I have in my other car)

I had a 24 Seltos w/ 35,000 miles that had these rust/oxidation spots come up right before I traded it in, now I have a 26 Sportage with 2,300 miles and they just started popping up within the past week in the same spots on the rear brushed steel panels and also the brushed steel part in front of the belt molding on 3 out of the doors (I might be mistaking the part name/material)

I know the actual answer is something like, cheaper material cost = more money made but is there a way I can prevent this from happening or maybe something that could remove it now? I plan on taking it in a seeing what the dealership says about it soon, any insight is great. I know I may sound b like I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I assure you, I don’t.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me figure this out.

I have an iPhone and recently received an “eGurad Detected Near You” notification through Find My. The map showed a route that matched exactly where I had driven my car that day.

The strange part is that I was driving alone, and this has happened a few times since I got my car from May. It is not detected all the time. For example, yesterday I drove home around 1:15 PM and the tracker’s last seen location was exactly when I got home. I left again around 3:30 PM, but it was not detected during that trip.

I tried Play Sound, but it says unavailable. I also tried to get more information about the item, but Find My currently gives me a “Unable to connect to server” error.

I’m wondering if this could be a tracker hidden somewhere in my car, or is it sth from Apple?

Rain caused me to hit a curb. Heard something dragging underneath, not sure what this is.

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Kia Proceed GT. This morning when outside was around 18-20 c. I heard a clicking sound on the driver side. After the engine came up the temp, the sound disappeared but this is the first time i heard so i wanted to hear if anyone had the same issue.

Car has only 72000 KM.
