Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2020 Kia Stinger owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2020 Kia Stinger, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2020 Kia Stinger in Denver, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “brake fluid is old but still looks,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Did the worksheet show tax yet? Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd push back a little: Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 Kia Stinger before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Any freeze-frame data saved? Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. I'll update if anything new shows up.

I parked the 2020 Kia Stinger and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
