Kia K900
Kia's rear-drive flagship — K9 in Korea, Quoris in the Middle East, K900 in North America — and mechanically a Genesis under a Kia badge: the first generation is the Hyundai BH platform the Equus and Genesis saloon use, the second the M2 platform of the G90. So the diagnosis is a rear-drive Hyundai luxury car's, not a Kia's, including the air suspension, the Tau V8 and the eight-speed automatic. Fewer than a thousand a year reached America, so parts availability there is the real constraint rather than any mechanical difficulty.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
