The lawyers who took that much money vs. the car owners receiving only $5,000 each are absolutely ruthless criminals.
No they’re not. They’re working in the system we set up. If you were in their position you would do the same
It's called capitalism!

Very unethical Mr. Slimeball
@@tom11zz884 The world's full of slimeballs. It's only part of the problem.....
Most cars nowadays store their odometer reading on multiple modules throughout the car. Now it’s even easier now to find a clocked car using a obd tool such as Carly Adapter. Scanning these extra modules and comparing data between them to find mileage discrepancies
I have never abused a rental car. I always felt fortunate to be driving an (almost) new car while on vacation.
Rental car are great fun 🤣
God bless you!
Good man.
How people treats things that do not belong to them says a lot about character. People trashing rental properties, fitness equipment at a gym, machines in an arcade... For some reason, people satisfaction in breaking things that they pay for (and enjoy using) but do not own. It's bizarre.
@@MrRatchaphruek Neutral drops were a blast when I used rentals in my 20's. My brothers had to teach me somehow and it wasn't gonna be in one of our cars. 😂
I bought a KIA Sorento from Carmax was 2014 with 50k. Put 100 k more on it. Still runs well the price wasn't bad. Anytime you buy a car you're taking a chance.
Yup.. scotty thinks owners never abuse their cars.. my daughters do little maintenance 🤣
In Australia dealers do not have to tell the buyer that it was a rental car. I do not think that is right.
I have no interest in electric cars.......honestly just sick of hearing about them like they are the greatest things ever.

@@america6529 A majority of people don't have a place to plug them in. You can't drive a Tesla if you live in an apartment in NY.

Great job man. Love this channel!!
Here in the UK you can check the yearly recorded mileage and general condition for free from it's mandatory inspection.

My 05 chevy malibu maxx started it life as a rental car. I didn't know when I bought it. No real issues just had to put on my full size spare today.

I buy corporate leases. Most are only a year old. They put 15-20k miles on it and get rid of it. You can find them with a lot of options, surprisingly.
Cool. May I ask where's the best place to look at for those kinds of cars?
@@JackMeyHoffer562 just average lots. Ask or find a car and do a vin check.
@@crownhic6827 The local Hyundai dealership got me one. It’s a Hyundai Sonata that was leased by General Electric. When I got it the odometer said it had 14000 miles on it and it was a year old.
I have purchased several low mileage rental cars and have had great experience and no problems.
Kia burner account😆
Kia word, low mileage
I own a KIA, and I kind of feel like this will keep good affordable cars out of the hands of people that need them. If the prices go up, I feel that it would hurt innovation and the economy. I own a V6 Sorento, which isn't half bad. The 4-cylinder GDis of certain years were the ones that had problems.
It's the fault of Kia and Hyundai, no one else. They broke the law and tried to make consumers pay for it.
It’s definitely Kia’s/Hyundai’s fault only. I also own a V6 (3.3L) Sorento and it’s been solid. Just avoid their I4 GDI turbo engines. Better yet, avoid all I4 GDI turbo engines regardless of manufacturer.
Ford, GM and Chrysler also have a history of building unsafe crap. Avoiding a recall inorder to save money. Corporate crooks.
@@DoubleoP Yup, they all do it. And they should all pay. Fuckin crooks.

Hello! hope you're having a great weekend Scotty!
Good Saturday afternoon to you Scotty, hope you and yours are doing well today it's🥶 cold here in Chicago🤔 what's say where you're at BROTHER ? 🧰👋👋👍🍻
This always has something bad to say about Kia , my 2014 sorento sxl is at 270k miles and still running like a champ , has the gdi v6 engine and I have never had a check engine light till this day .
We own a 2020 kia rio sport bought it 11 months ago .been driving for 21000 miles and even though is an economy car mileage and performance are decent.tip:don’t wait till 7K for an oil change.use quality oil max 4-5k for the longest life possible.
Scotty is a great outlet for real car news and information 👍
I appreciate the visual reference (a true hero) for a whistle-blower. 😉
Have a Kia Optima/K5 2012 with 315k ODO.. not a single Hiccup for 9 years.. it's just up to the driver how to keep the engine working in mint condition
I used to work for Kia/Hyundai at their corporate office. I was a bill collector, they had their own financing and would give auto loans for brand new cars or used. I don’t know how many times I was told by the customers to come repo the car because the dealer didn’t want to honor their warranty. After hearing that I told myself I would never buy a Kia or Hyundai.
I’d be interested in knowing how many people defaulted on their loans. Here in Canada Hyundai/Kia was the first offering borderline predatory loans. Stretch out your loan to 96 months at 0% interest. The car won’t be worth it’s monthly payment after 48 months. Then people roll their old payments in to a new car after five years. Slippery slope!
@@NovaScotiaKevin if it's
0 percent i don't see how it's predatory
@@jackrichards7659 It's predatory because you can stretch out a car payment for eight years. It's not a mortgage, it's a car. And in year five it won't be worth what's remaining on the loan. And we all know getting eight years out of a Hyundai or Kia is a big ask. People eventually trade it in after year four and roll the remainder of their loan on to the next vehicle. And so on and so on. That's predatory because people aren't smart enough to see it.
@@NovaScotiaKevin Many customers defaulted on their auto loan because of the warranty issue. They refused to pay for a car that wouldn’t work when they believed the warranty should of covered it. I agree with them in a way but also they need to read the fine print on the contract. It is easy to void that warranty, all it takes is getting an oil change at somewhere other than the dealer or going to an auto parts store & replacing the parts yourself. If I had to guess, I would say that I talked to at least 5 people per month that would default on their loan because of that reason. I’m just one person so we had about 50 other collectors & they would hear the same thing.
Idk, i've had my Kia since 2002. It has ove 150k on it. Only thing happen to mine was the radiator started to leak. Kia sent a flatbed within 2 hours to pick it up and honor the warranty. They also dropped off a rental car within 4 hours.
At 90k I took it in and anything i thought was off, or had wear and tear I had replaced or fixed under warranty.
My experience has been excellent with Kia and their warranty.
I bought my 02 Toyota Camry from a dealer with bad shocks, bad valve cover gasket, bad pcv valve, bad brake drums, and they said they are going to change the oil before I took it, and they never did. Crazy
I work at a Manheim auction. I have driven dozens of fleet, daily rental and repossessed vehicles to CarMax. Almost all of the smaller operators also buy from us and/or ADESA, our slightly smaller auto auction competitor. There are also a fair number of independent auto auctions too, but we are all selling the same kinds of cars.
😆 very entertaining and enjoyable episode
I never deliberately fucked up a rental car, although I did drive it fast on the freeway!
Quite by accident I mounted a kerb with one of the rear wheels when turning, and the trunk popped open. I got such a fright!
My current car was a loaner at a dealer for when people had work done to their cars. No weird problems after a year of owning it!
Most people don't do neutral drops in dealer loaner cars. Rental cars? It's pretty much required. 🤣
What about Tesla fires that take hours to extinguish as the batteries keep reigniting??????????
@@johncampolo2177 You shut up
I bought a Corolla from Avis, excellent deal and cheaper than used car lot and cheaper than private party at the time. It was excellently maintained and well kept. Easiest purchase I ever did.
2016 versa cvt.. from hertz.. 40,000 miles. 195,000 now.. Still going
Make garbage, pay a price...except GM, they get bailed out after decades of almost good enough
"Nobody does almost good enough like GMChina"
I used to pull the speedometer cable / wire when I rented cars so my millage didn't show up.
Scotty correct welded nut inside and the circumference....the welding breaks the seal too with the heat..better to move fast
Question:. The 23 kia Sportage isn't on the lot and can only be ordered online. Can I negotiate the price or the price that's online is the price you pay period ?
Oh I purchased a 16 versa CVT rental with 40,000 miles, is still going at 190,000 miles with no issues. We just roll the dice again buying a 22 Sorrento with the same mileage, hopefully we get lucky this time to.
I bought a 2017 Kia Rio from hertz I have had it for almost 4 years. Not one single issue with anything. It’s 900 miles away from 70,000 miles and I love it
Hello Scotty!! I have a 05 Chevy impala that shifts hard only when its hot. When cold it runs without any problems. why is that?
Could be due to change in viscosity of the fluid as it warms up. When solenoid/servo bores become worn, cold viscous fluid will leak past the worn bores when they are closed at a slower rate and transmission can still generate enough pressure to function. When the fluid heats up and becomes thin, it leaks past the bores at at faster rate and cannot generate enough pressure or takes longer to reach desired pressure to apply the band.
5:53 shady guy on the side 🤣🤣
Hello from Ireland Scotty.
Back in 1986, I bought a 4 month old rental car from a rental company. It was the worst car I ever bought. The customers who rented the car must have drove the crap out of it. It was having problems from the time I bought it. Never again would I do this this!
Ask yourself, why do you think they sold it after 4 months of use, Because it had problems they didn’t want to deal with !
Doesn't everyone drive rental cars that way?
@@VideoArchiveGuy Actually a lot of people have morals but don't virtue signal about it.
if KIA admits their fault, imagine the extra law suits that would follow....
They are being truthful about it. Why would they lie about the lawsuit they have no idea about? You troll gotta do better than that.
scotty didn’t do research. the settlement is active google it. they ask you for Vin Number and info. i think its settled for over 700 mil actually. u can apply now
Hi sir when getting a car make sure to get stated mileage via emails or text as this can be used in courts ... worked for me on a 87 f150 ..... couple yrs ago
Fact.

Yeah because we no longer have a legal system. Just permitted extortion by attorneys. Its sadly the reason why this Country will soon be a warzone.

@@cronicjointpain1 maybe, but they took all the risk paying a ton of money for schooling to get to that point. If you were smart you would do the same. I don’t fault anybody for rising to the top and making tons of money
In Sweden i bought used KIA ceed that was rental car and had 20000 km on it. I drove it 50 000 km in 3 years without any problems.
Another thing to do to remove a stripped lug nut is to grab carbide drill and put it in your cordless, and drill only deep enough so that the head of the lug nut loosens and separates from the threaded portion. {make sure the drill doesn't come into contact with the wheel, BTW} Remove the wheel and remove the remaining bolt portion of the lug nut. {a lot easier to remove that bolt portion now that you can spray some PB Blaster and get a vice grip on it. Or maybe heat it up {make sure that the fire danger is eliminated first, please. No residual WD40 or brake caliper components nearby🔥}
Usually can be done in under 5 minutes.
Hello Scotty from Sunny Mooresville NC
My 2014 Kia Soul has intermittent headlights. Can’t fix it only replace the bulb, then it blows again.
I have a 2017 80k mile Kia Soul with the 2.0 engine. I change the oil myself every 5k miles with conventional oil. I checked the oil level before a 300 mile road trip & found the level was 2 quarts low after 4k miles from last oil change. I read a service bulletin saying less than one quart of oil consumption every 1k miles was normal on 2017 Kia engines. I'm switching to synthetic next oil change & replacing the pcv valve to see if that helps. I only use the recommended 5w-20 weight oil.
So Scotty, is this normal? I've never had this problem with a Toyota.
Conventional oil should be changed every 3k miles. Synthetic blend and full synthetic oil can be changed every 5k miles. The PCV valve should be changed about every 60k miles. I would check the oil about once a week.
@@ryanhull1381 I've read from many reliable sources the oil change interval for conventional oil is 5k & for synthetic is 7.5k. I know the oil change quick-lube places like to tell you different to keep you coming in more often to spend money! As for the pcv valve sounds about right.
@@stevesmith5042 I change my oil myself as well. My suv has almost 180k on it and I don't want to take any chances because I can't afford another vehicle.
@@ryanhull1381 most other brands that recommended 7k or so miles have no issues with that interval as they’ve invested heavily in their engine and oil technology to have them work that way. Toyota for instance has no issues with their vehicles running a 10k oil change interval. Hyundai and Kia and a lot of other automakers just cheap out on their vehicles engines so they can make up for it with electrical gimmicks. So really it depends on the car. I have zero worries with Toyota’s recommendation between oil changes.
yes always use synthetic oil.

I worked in rent a car. you can not beleive what people did. Lady drive from Paris to Belgrade Citrone XM (about 2000km) and from Zagreb to Belgrade she drive with red warning about oil (400km) and when she came to Belgrade we only can through away in garbage. We asked why you drive when you have signal? She said i did not see it. And she drives like maniac.

In Korea the whistleblower would have faced legal penalties for being a whistleblower. In SK truth isn't a defense.

Private sale, maximum assessment of the black, red and green books, based on milage alone, reguardless of condition or accidents. 2X tax charged (30%).
Dealer, 15% tax charged on real sale price, 90 day warenty, 7 day return, most include carfax, or similar!
Locally the tax assessment for a private sale 2009 Lexus IS250 sold at $9,000 is $15900 the total tax bill is $4,770 @30%. Total being $13,770 plus a $180 transfer fee!
Where as a dealer wants the same $9,000 the tax is $1,350 totaling $10,350 plus no transfer fee for the registration!
ya the gm switch issue lawsuit was just resolved. I got a check for 70.36. Lol
You are right Scotty, a number of "used cars" at car lots are "rental cars", and "leased car returns" with the rest being the proverbial "trade in". Today however, some car companies include oil changes and general maintenance with their leases, and those type of cars are, though probably a "premium" will be good used vehicles. Honestly, a good way to tell the quality of a car is the condition of the interior. If it is clean and without stains on the carpet and seats, scratches on the dash etc. means they took the time to clean their car, and those people generally take the time to perform correct maintenance like changing the oil etc. as well. Also, the more higher end cars like Cadillac or Lexus, tend to be well cared for because of their price. And getting one of those from the first owner can be really good vehicles also.
I’m honestly satisfied with my KIA. I got it with about 97,000 miles and two years later it runs fine. Hopefully it doesn’t shut down on me anytime soon. Maybe because it was manufactured in Korea, the build-quality is better?
@@Ecuador006 S. Korea = Poorest country in 2021??????
@Unknown User I believe US manufacturing factory would be better than that in Korea. But I have seen many Korean Kia cars could work until 150,000 miles, so yours would be fine if there is no critical issue.

Happy National Bavarian Cream Pie Day , Scotty!
My 2011 Hyundai Sonata was previously a fleet car from General Electric and was in nice condition when I got it. I only needed new tires and a wheel alignment. Otherwise it’s been a good car.

Hi Scotty!
Last year i bought a Kia from Carvana that was originally a rental car.
How is the car going for you? I’m in the same boat
Them Kia Forte’s, what’s your thoughts 💭 on that model ?
He has said in older videos that new KIas/Hyundais are fine the first 100.000 miles if you take care of them (oil change, air filters, spark plugs, etc), but after that they start to fail.

Whistle blower get $5 after the lawyers take their cut
My bearings wore out at around 97k miles. Took it to Mexico and paid 300 dollars for the engine to get fixed. Kia didn't want to help me out.
5:54 I like what you did there Scotty
My daughter-in-law has one of a late model Kia. You didn’t go into any detail as to what the problem is. She has my grandson in there every day. What’s wrong with the car. I think it’s about four or five years old. Thank you for any replies.
I have a 2013 Kia Optima which went through some of these issues - they're bad but not as dangerous per se as everyone makes it sound. The most common issue is that the engine just seizes, which is what happened to me while accelerating. Got a little over 50km/hr, then the acceleration just stopped and the car gently coasted to a stop. I could have braked if I wanted to stop sooner, but the momentum actually helped because I could pull safely to the side of the road.
The fire issue should have been fixed now after their recall, but in rare instances and in hot climates they would spontaneously catch fire, typically when just driven and then left outside in the sun. Also really problematic, but even if it does happen, car fires are very slow and give lots of visual warning, so it's very unlikely to cause any physical harm to your daughter-in-law or grandson. I wouldn't worry too much about them getting hurt - it's a very safe vehicle, just prone to breakdowns. =)
Just look up videos of Kias starting on fire.
Kia.driven by many new to Canada who don't know to turn their lights on and night qnd crash into you then call cops and say he's threatening me. But dashcams eat them alive. These people need fish oil massive doses. Love you Scotty.
I was looking for a first car about a month ago, and decided to pull the trigger on a blue 2008 Toyota Corolla S with about 154,000 miles. It looks to be in nice condition, and looks like it was incredibly taken care of. Do you think that this was a good choice?
How much they asking?

I’m confused. Didn’t Hyundai and Kia make recalls for these engines and replaced them free of charge? Unlike GM who doesn’t even give a recall.
The replacement engines that Hyundai and kia used were from cars that were in wrecks and in salvage yards. They did not use a new crate engine.

Private individuals is the way to go… don’t buy from car dealerships or rental companies. Typically auto dealerships companies are selling leftover rental cars, preowned or new… but be prepared for fees, fees, and more fees!!!

Rivian worth 66 billion and they haven't sold a truck yet. We're living in a freakin' cartoon!
A kia made in Korea is a different car. If you ever buy a Kia make sure it has a K or J (Japan) as the first letter of the vin and you will have a great car.
Sir all video very very nice video thank you so much I am from India
I'm driving a Sorento 2.2 disel UM 2015 an the car us awesome. I never had problems with the car and I'm still driving it 🤷♂️
9:16 yeah I'll be careful. Hopefully i can figure out how to make a nissan cube an ev lol. First i gotta go find one etc. And with the wagon tipping over. The startups might fail. Certain things like GM might fail if they continue to fail it putting out a reliable product. But I'm pretty dang sure overall electric vehicles really are superior and will hold up a lot better over time than quite a few other things. Heck THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE AVIATION AND SHIPPING AND TRAINS ALL BATTERY ELECTRIC LOL. Im not as worried about turning a nissan cube electric compared to running out of power om a cruise ship lol
scotty u are just miracle michanic
I have a kia soul. The kia soul page on fb tells stories of owners with these problems. Engines also seize and transmissions go out. Each time I take mine out I wonder if it'll make it home.
What year is it? Newer ones have been super reliable.
The soul also has a safety crash rating that isn't as good as many other cars.
@@RRLV434 i have a 2013. The 2020s have had the slipping transmissions ever since brand new.
Super reliable cars.. Kia are good car.

What year of Kia engine blowing up?
Pretty sure it was the 2011-2014 2.0L ones (don’t quote me on that though) :)
The last time they had that incident was 2016. I hadn't heard anymore after that.
The rental car company do not service the car never change the air filter. Change the oil every 10,000
you should watch the Scotty Kilmer for your honest youtube channel. American car companies general motors and ford produce inferior products to the Asian and European. Do not waste your money especially if the automobiles are used they have many recalls and quality control issues for a significantly higher price, Detroit has not changed. That is one of the reasons ford and general motors are retreating from the global markets in shame and disappointment.
I purchased a LEXUS rx350 2010 instead of a Lincoln 2012 MKC because of the great reasons (reliability, luxury, quality
next video, No one is telling you the truth about Saturday, so I have to. I hate Saturday!!!!!
The informer who just rewarded w 25MM was a former quality inspector for Hyundai/ Kia and it was his job to raise a flag when find faults. He did and got fired instead. That ticked him off and started fighting back. It didn't work that well in Korea so brought that fight into America, the land of Erin Brockovich succeeds. After all, the problem occurs on the less than 1.5% of the production which is a mandatory recall limits.
@Nordav Devito way reliable than your feminine highlander
1.5% of your engines blowing up is a stupid high number, tbh.
I used to work for a rental car company and I know how the customer plus the workers treat them.
