2021 Kia Stinger Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$49.99 USD
Unit price
This service and repair manual is built around the 2021 Kia Stinger specifically, down to the engine and trim in front of you, so the torque figures and service sequences you work to are the ones Kia published for this car rather than values carried over from an adjacent model year.
Engines covered
- 3.3L V6 — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
- 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door hatchback
Trims covered
- EX
- GT
- GT Limited
- GT-Line
- GT1
- GT2
Known issues on the 2021 Stinger. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One is filed against the hydraulic service brakes and their anti-lock and traction control electronics, where an engine compartment fire can increase the risk of injury or crash. Two concern the fuel pump: on 2020-2021 cars the pump's jet nozzle may have a plastic burr remaining from the manufacturing process, and insufficient fuel supply to the engine can result in a loss of drive power; separately, the fuel control valve plunger may stick inside the high pressure fuel pump, causing over-pressurization, and a loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. A fourth covers the instrument panel fuel gauge, where a software error in the instrument cluster may cause an inaccurate fuel gauge reading, which may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling. The fifth applies to cars with the 3.3-liter turbo gasoline direct injection engine and involves the left turbocharger oil feed pipe, where an oil leak in the presence of hot engine components can increase risk. Owners have filed 24 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 45 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing a fuel delivery fault on the 3.3L turbo, verifying a fuel gauge reading against the cluster, or working through scheduled maintenance, the manual keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2021 Stinger.

My transmission/engine and brake system failed. I was slowing down to probably 5 mph to make a right hand turn into my driveway from the street when the engine started racing. I heard a loud whine and the car started to speed up. I jammed my foot onto the brake to slow down but did not have the time to try to put the transmission into neutral. The car was not slowing down so I turned right to hit my tree rather than proceed straight and crash into my garage. When I hit the tree there was a large
The contact owns a 2021 Kia Stinger. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the vehicle lost motive power inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to his nearby residence. The contact stated upon driving the vehicle uphill that same day, the vehicle failed to exceed 2-3 MPH and started losing power. The contact stated that he drove back to his nearby residence. The vehicle was towed to the de
I was driving on hwy 73 when I heard a sound like a shotgun went off. Glass started falling in the car and on me as the sunroof had shattered. There was no other vehicle in the area and the sunroof was closed.
Since April I have been having the same issue. Sometimes when I am stopped and the autostop is supposed to shut down the engine, the engine just sputters and if I hit the gas nothing happens. I have to put the car in park and shut it down then restart it. I try to shut the auto stop off when I get in the car but sometimes I forget. It has happened at over 20 times that I have documented over the last couple of thousand miles, many times in dangerous locations, in the middle of interactions or wa
Exploding/Shattered Sunroof No cars on the road near me at the time of incident, eliminating rock or debris damage Glass shards fell onto me in the cabin of car There was potential for accident due to sudden distraction Dealer has claimed rock damage but this is false Sunroof appears to have blown out upwards from the center Sounded like a bomb went off when it blew No warning signs Car was purchased brand new 5 months prior
The contact owns a 2021 Kia Stinger. The contact stated that the dealer had previously replaced the rotors twice; however, the failure recurred with a metal-to-metal noise while the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately. The contact had to downshift manually to slow down the vehicle. Additionally, after driving for a lengthy period of time, the steering wheel would shake and a burning odor was d
At certain times when I am braking the brake "skips" it's like i am unable to brake so I end up braking late. It's become a safety hazard since there are times when I have almost hit another car. Also, the other is the silver trim on the exterior looks completely faded probably from the sun but I've seen multiple stingers with this issue and should be replaced and yes the car is dirty but that is not dirt.
The car started to slow down and once I came to a stand still. The car would not start!
Bought this vehicle from Carvana.com and have been trying to get it repaired since then. There is something wrong with the steering/braking/suspension system. According to License Mechanic Derek Hartfield at Monroe (248) 980-3262 after a road test - told me the vehicle is not safe to drive. He attempted to repair vehicle and Carvana denied the repair. Carvana instructed me to take car to Dealership, dealer has a wait list, I have a family and need to work. It feels like no one wants to he
My car started skipping or stalling when I'd press the accelerator. Then the check engine light came on. I took it to an Independent mechanic and it showed high pressure fuel pump or system. The spark plugs were changed, but the problem remained. I checked and noticed that there was a recall for that particular problem. I called the dealership and they said my VIN wasn't attached to it. But I do think it should be.
After failed first fix at 300 miles, wife was driving an ran out of gas on highway around 800 miles on O/D. Told this time the entire instrument/gauge cluster is bad. Dangerous situation to run out of fuel on a highway. Kia roadside assistance driver would not come and get her as she was on an Express Lane. Had to fill up car with fuel myself (after scrambling down highway embankment) while standing in traffic lane (fuel fill cap is on driver's side).
JUST PURCHASED A 2021 KIA STINGER GT AWD NEW ABOUT A MONTH AGO. JUST OVER 1000 MILES ON IT NOW AND ENCOUNTERED A CONCERNING ISSUE. SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT WITH THE AUTO START/STOP OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND IN SPORTS MODE, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION FOLLOWED BY A PRETTY FORCEFUL LURCH FORWARD. AS I APPROACHED THE NEXT STOPLIGHT SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET FURTHER AHEAD THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT... OF COURSE.

All 4 Rotors are warped and pads are worn down on a 30K mile vehicle.
