2020 Kia Stinger — dealer cannot reproduce an intermittent warning

MarketGal186Community StarterOct 15, 20252020 Kia Stinger GT2Orange County
2020 Kia Stinger GT2, about 75,000 miles. I have brought the car in twice for the same intermittent warning and both visits ended with could-not-reproduce. I have video and timestamps. What is the best way to build a useful paper trail?

I would start here: write down what you already tested so the next step is not a repeat.

Fair, but in Orange County, I care more about the thing I will notice every day than the spec-sheet extra.

Small add: owner data points help more than a generic forum diagnosis on a 2020 Kia Stinger.

Thanks, this narrowed it down. I am going to try the simpler check on the 2020 Kia Stinger first.

If it were mine, I would verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 Kia Stinger before committing to a big repair.

One thing that mattered for me: in Orange County, I care more about the thing I will notice every day than the spec-sheet extra.
