you might want to get it scanned and see if they get any codes
what engine are in those?

bring it in, have it scanned!! we have scanners we've used on Rio(s) b4. Only true diagnostic solution and the best way of avoiding unwanted and UNNECESSARY trouble. These cars are kinda tickle-ish and actually help you dig yourself into deeper sheit if you're not sure what's wrong and especially seeing that there are mechanics like to apply Nissan GA15 solution to every Korean irritation, best not take any chances.

When I had my Rio Southern Sales never ever had any parts to fix it.
