Today is ownership day 12 and I love our Niro.

I had trouble getting the plug-in door open a few minutes ago. It was like it was getting stuck. I had to gently force it. When I went to plug in, I noticed a little resistance there, too. (Related, I wonder?)

Anyone else...

did you press unlock on the key fob twice? That works for me. You have to be aligned just right when you when you plug in. At least with the one that comes with the car.

Thanks. My wife informed me yesterday the car has to be unlocked to open the plug-in door. Duh. One of the million things I was told during the hand-off, I guess. And one I didn't retain.

    I have a 2019 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid. Overall happy with the vehicle so far. Less than 2K miles on it. From day 1 I have noticed a droning or thrumming sound coming from the rear while driving over various road surfaces. It is not from the radio as I have turned it off when I hear the...

    Kia Niro Issues, Problems And Complaints
    My wife and I are really enjoying our new '18 Niro PHEV EX Premium. However as the nights get longer, our commute has started to require headlights for the final 15-miles (in a month it'll be the whole commute). For the past few weeks we've counted how many times people have flashed their high...
