    Have a look at this, it's minor but something to keep an eye on. Got in the car one morning and saw this, next morning was bigger. Definitely a warranty issue.

    Good thing it's on your car's P, and not yours!

  5. Small but annoying on a new vehicle. Hopefully they'll take care of that.

    I got my Niro EV back in May (I was the first person In Canada to get one :eek:) and my P also bubbled up WAY more than what yours did. I told my dealer about it over the phone and he said that his father who also bought one has the same issue. He said it will be fixed under warranty. It must be a early production run issue.

  8. Have you taken yours in to have it corrected yet?

    Domenick….. not yet. I have 16,000 kilometers on my car so I'm heading in a week or two to get my tires rotated and will get it fixed then.
    Other than that, and the Electrify America / Canada pricing issues lol, I love it, and I've already saved a few thousand with our gas prices!
    I'll post before and after pictures of the "P"

    My P got way worse, it was just the beginning stage when I took the photo, I did get it replaced and all good now. My only odd issue now is my charging door is super stiff. Never hit anything or put pressure on it at all.
    Kia wants way too much to rotate tires and change an air filter. $150, plus part. I'm doing it myself. I think they try to make up for the lack of service on the vehicle but you will get something or nothing from me. $50 is what I was willing to pay.

  11. Cool. Feel free to show us your P after you get it fixed. :)

    I also had this issue and have asked my dealer to replace it, the have confirmed the part has arrived and I am just waiting to get to them to do the swap. Hopefully the replacement part doesn't just have the same defect in 3 months again.

    Get your tires rotated somewhere else. Last time I got my tires rotated and balanced, it was like $25 or $30.
