Any High mileage, stingers out there?

[Zstinger]

Anyone approaching 100,000 miles on their stinger with a 3.3 TwinTurbo? Any issues popping up?

I am at 92k miles. Had to replace leaky radiator at around 70k miles.

Good question. Will be interesting to see others responses that have mods.
I’m only at 12k miles.

Was it leaking due to a stone chip or physical damage?

Or manufacturing defect?

It failed at the seam. Where plastic end meets aluminum body. Bottom corner.

This is actually a great idea for a thread. I'd like to hear what issues the higher mileage cars are having.

That’s not one I would’ve expected? Probably not covered under the drive to train hundred thousand mile warranty?

Would not have expected that? Not covered under 100,000 mile warranty?

I’m at only 25k. So far just chewing up rubber!

Not when you are a second owner.

At 5500mi one of the front axle shaft's (awd) bearing seal failed. This is the shaft that connects the driverside inner CV joint to the front diff (through the oil pan). Car is fully stock.

Haven't seen other posts about such issues so hopefully just a fluke.

What an odd failure.

Sucks that you had to fight to get an alignment done as part of the warranty repair. Seems ridiculous.

I know a guy here in OZ, original owner with over 250,000kms (155,000ml) & has had no issues at all just regular servicing.

One can only hope

Like many things, it didn't "absolutely" need an alignment. However, doing it right includes checking and adjusting alignment any time suspension components are r&r'd.

When I had new tires put on at 500 miles, discount tire insisted on new valve stems, regardless of the fact old tires and wheels were practically brand new (~2 weeks after getting the car). One less thing to fault and cause a come back.

Im a second owner, but the first was the KIA Rep for Eastern Canada so it was still in KIAs system so Im technically the first owner.
I got it with a little less than 20k kms, for 44k Canadian it was a steal. I got the top extended all in warranty to 200K.
I have 105K kms now and the only thing done was the fire hazard recall and maintenance.
Im gonna get the Trans and Diffs fluid changed in the next couple of months...I just need to figure out for sure which trans fluid to use.

I have a 2020 gt2 with 110000 miles. I bought it Sept 9, 2020. I drive a lot. No problems other than brake shudder starting around 6k and put ebc yellows with girodisc 2 piece rotors all around at 12k. Just regular maintenance otherwise. Actually trying to buy a new one again now. Love this car.
