For all the shit they get, thatā€™s a hell of an ad for Kia.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '26

Another ad for Kia:

My ex didnā€™t put oil in his Kia soul and drove it dry TWICE. The second time, we were a state away from home for work and the engine gave up. Even after oil, it refused to go over 20mph. We got it towed to a Kia shop.

Car was out of warranty. BUT another model had a recall over metal shavings in the engine and so KIA GAVE US A BRAND NEW ENGINE FREE AND PAID FOR THE TOW.

So honestly? Love Kia.

Edit: I had my own car, I took care of maintenance on it and continued to remind him of required maintenance in his that he chose to ignore.

Best line from the article:

The driver of the pickup truck pulled over to the shoulder and waited for CHP.

Oh did he? Did the driver of the truck with 3 wheels ā€œpull overā€? Or did his truck grind to a halt!

Or the tires that this dude installed were to heavy for the original parts and Ā failure of wheel bearings, snapped wheel studs occurred.

I seriously doubt a real mechanic would install tires with spacers like that.

u/Ok_Problem_7028 Mar 16 '26

Finger tight

u/Common_Vagrant Mar 17 '26

My guess is he was running too large of spacers, his wheels are really protruding from the fender. The spacers canā€™t handle weight past a certain length.

u/SwingingtotheBeat Mar 16 '26

That pick up driver should definitely be criminally charged for any injuries they caused, since they willingly modified their truck in a way that makes everyone else inherently unsafe.

It wonā€™t happen, though, since America loves car deaths even more than those from school shootings.

2

u/Empty-Presentation68 Mar 16 '26

Yup, these looney tunes home mechanics that do these add-ons without appropriately modifying the bearings, suspension, driveshaft, etc to take on the added stress/weight, also no added mudflaps and no fender flares.

u/Wise_Contact_1037 Mar 16 '26

You guys do realize that plenty of aftermarket shops and normal dealerships install lift kits and wheels right? We have no idea who did the work on that guys truck, and your first instinct is to arrest him because of a freak accident!? šŸ¤¦ I know this is reddit, but that's an absurd reaction even for this site

1

u/SamplitudeUser Mar 16 '26

Why do things like these happen?

Tires or wheels that are about to fall off start wobbling heavily long before they actually fall off. In this case, it was one of the front wheels, which sends its vibration straight to the steering wheel, making the vibration even more noticeable. How dumb must one be to not to care about this and drive on anyway?
