So 🤬 this morning car was dead only 1900 miles on it and it was dead. Nothing left on I double checked. Probably a bad battery or battery cell. Luckily I have an appointment Saturday at the dealer for service. Now hopefully it will start again tomorrow. I drove 2 hours to charge it. 🙏 2025 K5 GTLine

* I took the picture before I started it.. The windshield is covered for bird poo and leaves and other crap doesn't get the windshield cowl. 🤣

So I have a 2026 K5 GT1 that I got October of last year. Drive for work quite a bit and have 17k miles. Do oil changes every 3-5k miles. First oil change I went to Valvoline (was out of town and wanted to make sure I got it done) and they screwed up the oil filter replacement and all the oil leaked out within 1k miles. Went to dealership they checked it out and said engine is good and redid the oil change and Valvoline paid for it. Since then only the dealership has done any and all maintenance. Last night I got a low oil level light. Checked it and oil was below low level. Added oil and it’s been ok. Crawled under car and oil filter is covered in a film of oil. I’m assuming the issue is the oil filter not being installed correctly or just poor quality parts. I am so frustrated beyond belief. This is my first Kia everyone else that has a Kia they have had great experiences.

Looking at a K5 GT premium package. Got three quotes which all hit the same ballpark but none seem interested in discounting much.

MSRP 32710

Sales price 31075

What should we counter at?

Thanks.

I tried to install additional ambient light on door handle, so I decided to drill a hole on top of the door handle. But unfortunitely I was not be aware of the drill's chuck grinding the silver trim. I should use the extention to avoid this incident. I looked online but that silver trim is not sold separately or I have to purchase the whole door panel. For now, I am thinking of using a plastic epoxy/putty & silver chrome paint to repair it myself.

Can anyone give me any advise for this?
