MY KIA RIO NIGHTMARE CONTINUES : ANGELES CITY, PHILIPPINES
Once again I have run into a issue with my Kia Rio. The ECU is going bad and the part has to be shipped in from South Korea. The problem with shipping is, I was told it can take over three months to ship. I was also told that this problem with the Kia is a ongoing problem from the Kia factory.
NEVER BUY A KIA IN THE PHILIPPINES. Parts are hard to find and when they need replaced you will wait months for it to arrive.

Who dare…. Who dare??? Brian you dare?????ππ
……… happy 4th of July Brian…….Demon Car giving u headaches again?…….. π
I’ve never understood why Angeles City trikes are so small. When I go to my wife’s province down south, they are full size and I can fit in them nicely. It was the same when I lived there in the late 90’s. Angeles city trikes are just small. We need a YouTube investigation on this! lol Sorry. I lived there in the late 80’s before the bases closed.
I was waiting for the intro from the pinays in the thumbnail!
Happy 4th july. Wish i could come share turkey with you hehe.
We are having small pancakes yum yum. With have a hyundai i10 since 2011 no problems. Fords are over priced. But nice.
Looks amazing over there in clark.
Next time buy a Toyota, parts are always available.
Do you know the part number to the ecu? I could go to Kia here in Las Vegas and ship it lbc air youβd have it in a week
Make your life simple and less stressful, buy Toyota
USA there fine,everyone buys them here in usa
I live next door to Kia dealer here
Sad I never heard about ECU going bad that often, it must be very expensive as well to change.
What no Turkey?
Happy 4th you all
We have a KIA SOUL in Europe and it runs flawless since 15 years! But here in the Philippines you are best off with Toyota although also they have problems with spare parts!
newer trust dealers…nothing wrong with kia in EU one of best cars with 7 year warranty…maybe they sent bad cars to 3 world country…
Like the shirt. Happy 4th to ya. Cheers, Tim
Anyone notice the Blue Taxi had the aircon covered so that he would be the only one to get the cool breeze? hahaha.
Good to know. They were poor quality when they first came out in the 90’s, but I thought they had improved them. Kia partnered with Ford.
Hi Brian, just make sure it’s not a Defective Fuel Pump, sometimes a Defective Fuel Pump can cause the same issue.
Best cars in philpeenns? Possibly moving there need tips on what to buy thanks
any mechanic will tell you KIA is junk get rid of it
It’s not just Kia that are slow with parts. I have a Toyota, it needed new brake drums after 25K kilometers. They took 2 months and only had to come from Batangas which is just south of Manila.
What you need over there are Tesla electric trikes. I’ll email Elon Musk right away.
One word… Toyota
Good luck Brian !!
Brian, have you ever considered calling their headquarters in Korea. Here is number if you want to at least let them know how frustrating it is to wait for 3/4 mo. for a single part 82 2 3464 1114. We live in Chiang Mai, have a Ford Everest, bought the extended warranty at time of purchase. Thankfully, we have received excellent service, thus far. Take care.
Definitely Toyota is the best shout I’ve had twin cab pickups for years and never let me down. Good luck with your Kia and happy independence day from the U.K. regards Darren
buy a Mazda as they come with a 3 year free maintenance warranty which includes oil changes so at least if you buy a used one you know its been serviced regularly by the dealer
This is not an American style type garage; in the U.S. they would never let you walk around like that.
Brian I quess your a rookie.
Wanna know how to get a trike Brian ?
You ready for this Brian ?
Wanna know how to get a trike Brian ?
Ok Brian are you ready for this ?
Stand on a corner and clap your hands , trikes will magically appear
I was at that dealership a few days ago looking around for a car. Maybe I’ll just cross Kia off my list.
South Korea is a throw-away society. When something breaks, they throw it away. So KIA, Hyundai, Daewoo and SsangYong are brands to avoid if you keep your cars for a long time because typically parts are not available after 5 years. In the Philippines, I would personally stick with Toyota and Ford.
howdy, Happy 4th to ya, car problem ?, buy German cars !!. buy Mercedes-benz. real value for money, never had a problem in the last 50 years with Mercedes . cheers.
Come on! Thatβs too effinβ lame for Kia Phillipines to not have a critical part like that. π
On the other hand, I feel that new ECU will solve all your carβs issues a.k.a. demons. π
Wobble? Check for a bent wheel.
U go Lut . Nothing like a chili dog on independents day.
Brian, it’s the game.. all the auto makers do this. The money isn’t in cars , it’s in parts. Wakie wakie π
Itβs the humidity these modern electronics hate tropical climates….you would have the same trouble with Mercedes, BMW, etc
Thanks for Sharing Your Life.
General Motors did the same thing in the past. They wouldn’t bother to shut down an assembly line to fix the problem.
There might be an option here. If you have contacts in the US, check with local auto parts companies, or may be even a KIA dealer in the US. Ask if they will sell you a computer there, and have your parents ship it to you overnight. Make sure you send them the VIN number. There is a good chance this will not work, but its worth a shot! And it might even cost less!
I was just there the other day. Luckily, they didn’t have the car I wanted to look at and possibly buy. Not now though…LOL Thanks for the heads up.
Maybe a 57 Chevy with air aspirated carb, points and condenser fire in the hole! Points last 50,000 miles and cost about 20 bucks! πππ
Dude the thumbnail
Gidday from OZ, The Kia Cerato is one of the most reliable cars sold in Australia. The same car is also sold as a Hyundai Elantra. The Kia Rio has never been anywhere as good. All Kia cars sold here are made in Korea and not their Chinese made models. These days it is more important where something is made, not just the brand name. Look under the hood as see what country is it made in, South Korea or China.
happy independence day. glad the ‘demon car’ is back. enjoy your lunch from pinkys. stay safe an well eh!
KIA: Killed In Action π seemed an appropriate description of your car Brian.
Hey Brian, Is the mechanic factory trained? Did he try and upgrade or reflash the ecm? Toyota owner here, just my 2Β₯! Happy 4th and Thank-You for your service! I will not kneel for NFL national anthem, I rather boycott!
Cars are on my blacklist. Tired of owning them.
Also blacklisted. House, Insurance, Job, return to US , long sleeve shirt, coat, and blanket.
Brian, what you’ve run into is what is known in the business world as “pre-planned obsolescence.” Next time buy a Nissan at the end of year promo time.
Kia are expensive for parts and more expensive to insure.. Cheap entry level car…
.
Kia strikes again. (Hahahaha) happy fourth of July to and the family. Take care
what have tits and wheels got in common, they both cost you a lot of money
Is there Diet MT Dew or Diet DP in Angeles also. As just seeing people drinking MT. Dew n Coke Zero there. Use to always be Coke Light.
Can’t you order it from rock auto and install it at home ?
You can try Goodgear in Pasay or Seiring in Q.C. Just search them in facebook. Im sure they can get you the right part faster and cheaper as well.
The ECU is a computer, they can program it to fail after the warranty runs out, then Kia can sell you a new one. Having said that, I would buy Kia over any other car brand.
Buying a Kia forte 2020. This news not so cheerful….
7 year warranty in uk
Toyota Corolla mate, canβt kill them πππ
The demon car strikes again, what can you do cars are like people we both donβt age very well and need work done. Hope you had a great Independence Day be safe see you in the next video.
Seems you have a First world problem in the Third world πππ
guess the Koreans sell off there lemons to the Philippines lol
Happy Fourth of July
Happy Fourth of July ππππ
Why donβt you call in to the Dodge RAM DEALERSHIP get ya self a real yankkie piece of American steel .. I bet that will break down a lot before it runs out of warranty same as the Jeep lol . Get a Hyundai Brian, lol , ya swim to North Korea Brian, ya wonβt be coming back with the part and ya probably be coming back with few limbs missing,if not ya life ..
Good stuff B. Happy 4th πΊπΈ
Cut your losses and get rid of the Kia. How much is the new ECU?
Let me know the names of those chix on the thumbnail XD
Thanks for the walk and talk Brian.
Agree with you on the exhaust, it even was worst before when engines were 2 strokes. Now they are 4 strokes but still they blow their exhaust on your face. I think the tricycle “tuktok” are better in design.
It’s the heat and the Humidity here Brian it just kills ECUs. Sell it and get yourself a Toyota they hold up the best here and parts are everywhere. I had a Honda Accord here and they are great also until you need parts for it. One of those things here that leave me scratching my head here because a 1/3 of the cars here are Honda’s and getting typical parts like in the states for them forget it!!!
brian what price they qoute you for ecu
Happy 4th july πΊπΈ
I have a kia picanto 07 and have never taking it to the dealer i found out they just BS to much I take it to a mechanic by det5 they can get the parts quick and reasonable prices
hahaha congratulations! duh!
Happy 4th Brian. Sorry to hear about your car.
“Mountain Dew, it’ll tickle your innards.”. Remember that? Probably not, I think you’re too young.
Simple, just buy new, Toyota or Honda, end of story
Sorry to hear about your Kia, I have a Soul and Sorrento for 6 years and I love mine .. no problems here in Houston
