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.

Pros: parts available, easy to repair
Vehicle: Kia Rio

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.

Cons: proprietary part, common failure, fries transmission
Vehicle: Kia

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.

Cons: air conditioning didn't work, alternator went
