Anyone else have these issues with their K5 GT-Line Premium?

Hi @m39.
Have you checked for any software updates/bug fixes that could possibly remedy the Apple CarPlay issue?
For the vibration/rattle issue. I recommend you start by emailing Kia corporate and seeing what they say, then work your way down to the dealer level.
If that fails (I hope not), then as a community we'll have to look at the DIY route.

Hopefully you can get these things resolved soon, I'm sure at least some of it can be annoying. Also, glad you found your way over here from OptimaForums.

Welcome to the forum @m39! Are the vibrations/noises that you're hearing constantly going on or do they happen in certain situations?

Just picked a GT-Line a few days ago and loving it... well, for the most part. I'm having issues with what sounds like faint vibrations/rattles on the driver side roof liner and passenger side (possibly the sunroof) of the car inside the cabin. The best I can describe what the noises sound like are slight vibrations against the foam lining, but hard to say for sure. At least on the driver's side, I confirmed where the noise is coming from by pressing up against the roof liner while driving. Doing that will make the noise stop, so it seems like something is not seated properly up there. And for reference, the noise isn't ridiculously loud, but definitely noticeable if you're driving without any music on. Another well known issue I'm running into is the constant connection drop with wireless Apple CarPlay, but not sure if that's a KIA issue or an iOS issue.

From what I've seen online, it seems like other KIA owners experience the vibration/rattle issue on their new car too, but just wanted to see if any other K5 owners are experiencing this. It's something that drives me crazy, but I need to figure out if it's something I just need to live with or take it to the dealership to have them look at it. I honestly dread going to the KIA service department since my experience with them have always been not so pleasant across multiple dealerships.

I have both of these issues. (I think mostly everyone has the CarPlay issue )

The rattling noise sounds like it’s coming from the sunroof for me as well.

I took mine to the dealership for the rattling by the screen they had a recall on it! and the wireless car play adjusted itself after IOS update

Okay so after reading your multiple posts .. you got the time to call cooperate and posting it here and no time to go to the dealership? What are your intentions? Your car is under warranty, what do you think we gonna tell u about the rattling ? Try duct tape and super glue ?

My Dealership told me that all the other k5s have these problems so maybe they will issue a recall and did nothing (****** off) sent messages to Kia corporate not herd back yet.
