Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2015 Kia Picanto a while back, pretty close to your Stonic problem. Just to preface this, my car know-how is at a low experience level, but I like to tinker a bit. Anyway, when I took it to my neighbourhood workshop, my mechanic found that the issue was actually with the battery being defective – not the seat itself. It cost me about 290€ to rectify the issue, kinda stung my wallet but the problem was sorted. Got any further details on your car's issue? That would be super helpful for me to identify if it's similar to my case or not. Hope this helps!

Hey, thanks for your input! Could be a similar issue, I reckon. My Stonic has clocked about 166921 KM, got the last service done fairly recently. The odd part is, the issue isn't constant. Some days, the electric seats work just fine and other days they're spotty. It's almost like they have a mind of their own! Honestly, I'm not super savvy with car stuff either, but I'm thinking I might need to get the battery checked out as you suggested. Anything to avoid that 290€ shocker! Cheers for the help!

No worries! Happy to help! A fluctuating problem, eh? Now that's a bit of a conundrum. My Picanto had a steady problem, not on and off like yours. But who knows, cars can be a bit tricky like that, can't they? If I were you, I'd definitely check out that battery issue. Alternatively, it could also be a loose wiring issue on the seat motor, considering the inconsistency you're having. Getting that checked won't hurt. And yeah, dodging that 290 Euro shocker is a definite must! Keep us posted on how it goes! Good luck!

Hats off to you for your help! I'm definitely going to get that battery examined first thing tomorrow, and I'll bring up the potential loose wiring issue with the mechanic too. I'll let you know how it goes. Really appreciate your support in solving this car conundrum! Cheers again!

Hey! Ik zit een beetje met het probleem dat mijn 2017 Kia Stonic op benzine loopt. Hij doet de laatste tijd een beetje raar. Specifiek, ik heb wat problemen met de elektrische stoelen die niet goed werken en ik merkte een fout opgeslagen. Kan het een probleem zijn met de opgeslagen fout van de elektrische stoel van de passagier? Is iemand anders ook zoiets tegengekomen en is het gelukt om het op te lossen? Ik zou graag horen hoe jullie het in jullie werkplaats hebben opgelost. Alvast bedankt!
