Reviews of OEM KIA alternator

I own a rio 2013. di ko gets bat marami parin nagsabi ng walang parts available sa kia e nasa shopee lang lahat. madali lang rin ayusin, naka DIY na ako nagpalit ng alternator, clock spring, ignition coils at eps motor. halos lahat ng fix nasa youtube lang.

I had an 08 Rio that I bought used in 2011 barely used. It was good for a couple of years but once things started to go it was one thing after another. Alternator twice, the starter.

My 2017 Kia Soul has 226,500 miles on the body and I have had none of these problems except my alternator died a few months ago but it had 220,000 miles on it.

Unfortunately it’s proprietary Hyundai/Kia part. It’s now a common problem that if the alternator goes, so does the transmission because the low voltage fries the shift control solenoid. Lots of people complaining about this and yes, it happened to me.

We had a warranty and it paid to have the alternator and starter replaced and I only had to pay the $150 deductible.

2011 Kia soul. 190k miles. No engine oil issues. Use fully synthetic that lasts about 10,000 miles per oil change. The only thing that I replaced twice was the alternator. lol

The first few months of my Kia Sorento purchase, my air conditioning did not work. Then at 61,000 the alternator went and it was 1,000 miles out of warranty.

I Had a 200k mile 2011 Soul and didn't have any major issues. 3k mile oil change, 3-5 yr battery change, some tire change, alternator replaced at 190k.

I have a 2013 Soul !. Got it about 2 years ago. Very reliable, only had one issue and that was the alternator going out on me a few weeks ago. 182k miles on it. It doesn\u2019t consume oil at the same pace others mention. It does currently idle a little rough, but Not terribly.

The alternator on my 2019 Forte failed.

I bought a used one with 20k miles on it, an new idler and tensioner pulley for around $350. Installed it all myself.
