Kia K5 & Telluride Owners, Check Your Trim!

Kia’s hottest rides—the K5 and Telluride—are facing a weird recall: the trim pieces might literally fly off while you’re driving. Over 300,000 cars are affected, and there’s no fix yet. Owners will get notified in late September, but until then, keep an eye on your car’s trim (and maybe your rearview mirror). No injuries so far, but this is not the kind of car drama anyone wants! #Cars #KiaRecall #CarProblems

Squirrels are eating Michigan cars?!

Michigan drivers, watch out—your car’s wiring might be on the menu for local squirrels! One woman’s 2023 Chevy Trailblazer was out of commission for nearly two weeks after a gang of oversized squirrels chewed through key engine parts, voiding her warranty and leaving her with a hefty repair bill. Turns out, eco-friendly soy-based wiring in modern cars is basically a buffet for rodents. Even parking in a garage didn’t stop the critters. People are trying everything from peppermint oil to BB guns. Anyone else battling wildlife under the hood? What’s worked for you? #Cars #MichiganLife #CarProblems

New Car? Watch Out for These Fails

You’d think a brand new car would be problem-free, but nope—some features break before your warranty even kicks in. Infotainment glitches, flaky keyless entry, stuck power windows, backup cameras that go blank, moody climate control, and tire sensors that cry wolf are all common culprits. If you spot any of these issues, don’t wait—get them checked ASAP so you’re not stuck with the bill. Anyone else had new car headaches? Spill your stories below! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarProblems

weird holes appeared in the trunk 😓

Saw this guy just discovering these two mysterious holes in his trunk and I'm totally confused... Just went to grab groceries and found his car like this. Any car experts know what could cause this kind of damage 🙃 #CarMystery #CarProblems #CARHELP #AutoRepair #Cars

Ford’s Engine Drama: Lawsuit Alert!

Ford owners are taking the company to court, claiming their small EcoBoost engines (2013-2019) have a hidden defect that lets coolant leak into the cylinders—leading to engine failure. The lawsuit says Ford knew about it but only offered quick fixes like coolant sensors instead of real repairs. If you drive a Ford Escape, Fusion, Edge, or a Lincoln MKC/MKZ from those years, this could be you! Would you call this a design flaw or just bad luck? #FordLawsuit #CarProblems #EcoBoost #Cars

Cybertruck Owner’s Blemish Regret

Imagine waiting forever for your dream Cybertruck, only to pick it up and spot a brown stain and scratches on the door. That’s what happened to Ozzy in NJ, but he took it anyway—FOMO is real! Now, a year later, those marks are driving him nuts. The Cybertruck Owners group is split: some say clean it with Bar Keepers Friend, others say just wrap it, and a few think he should just chill. Would you keep a blemished ride or hold out for perfection? #Tesla #Cybertruck #CarProblems #EVLife #CarCommunity #Cars

EPA Chief Hates Start/Stop Tech Too?!

Ever cursed at your car’s start/stop feature when it shuts off at every red light? You’re not alone—the new EPA boss, Lee Zeldin, can’t stand it either and is calling it a “climate participation trophy.” He’s hinting the EPA might actually ditch or change this unpopular tech. While it does save a bit of gas and cuts emissions, most drivers just want it gone. Would you miss it if it disappeared? #CarTech #EPA #StartStop #AutoNews #CarProblems #Cars

Engine Fixed, Now My A/C’s Toast?!

Ever get your car back from a huge repair, only to find something else broke? That’s what happened to Anthony after his 2016 Kia Sorento got a new engine—now the A/C’s blowing hot air, but the dealer swears it’s “freezing.” Turns out, he’s not alone. Other owners say their A/Cs went out right after engine work, too! Pro tip: Always test everything before leaving the shop, and don’t be afraid to push back if something feels off. Anyone else had this happen? Drop your horror stories below! #CarProblems #KiaSorento #DealershipDrama #CarRepair #AutoLife #Cars
