Re: Fuel Leak?
Problem solved (by me). At the recent service, the technician failed to properly insert the dipstick. As a result, at especially highway speed, the (expensive) synthetic oil was spraying under pressure all over the engine and the vapours were then sucked into the interior, especially as you come to ...

Have 2017 Niro Premium EX. It now has about 15000 KM ( ~10,000Miles). I've posted before about a groaning noise associated with the brakes/suspension. Took it in to Kia dealer, they couldn't find anything wrong. Well, the noise is really irritating and I am seriously thinking of dumping the car. Whe...

Re: Groaning of parking brake
No it seems to be a wet weather issue. Live in Vancouver Canada and we have just had the driest summer in over 50 years. It doesn't make the nouse if the wheels/pads/suspension are dry. Thx I will try putting the brakeon harder, but it's sunny again today!

I have enquired at the Kia dealership and was told this is normal?!?! They said it is the parking brake rubbing against the wheel?!? and I should park the ca...
