Kia 39180-2B000 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

This part worked perfectly to fix 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited. It had the issues with hard starting / rough running / no tachometer. The part on the car had never been changed before and the part I received looked exactly like the OEM part so I trust that what I received was a real OEM part and not generic. EDIT: When installing new sensor make sure the O-ring from the old sensor isn't stuck in the engine block. I realized when I compared the two parts side by side the old sensor was missing the O-ring because it was stuck in the engine block. Thankfully I didn't install the new sensor with the old O-ring still in the engine block.

Let me first start by saying this is an OEM part without a doubt it has the Hyundai/Kia logo right on the part. It was literally only a fraction of what they charge at the dealership. The dealership wanted three to four times the price for the same exact OEM part. Fixed my wife's 2020 Kia forte LXS starting problems and where the engine shuts off randomly and she has to start it back up. I am so glad that I purchased this part here on Amazon for an OEM part and only 25% of the price that the dealership wanted. Heck yeah and it works flawless right out of the bag literally. No more problems since and it arrived actually a day earlier than expected. Was definitely easy to install by myself with no issues.

This was purchased to replace the faulty sensor on my 2015, Kia Soul ! It fit perfectly and work and has continued to work now for over a month at this point. BTW, The symptoms my car exhibited when the original sensor wasn't working, was. Hard to start, had to attempt several times. When It did start and run, there was no tachometer operation. There was no engine check light or OBD code. It also illuminated the Traction control light. When trying to drive, it would not shift gears properly. Had to do it manually. Turning off the car for a minute or two and trying to restart would sometimes create an operational condition.

My 2012 Kia Soul had been shutting off while in idle, had intermittent hard starts, and when It did restart had no tachometer operation. My mechanic could not figure out why as no codes were given and the check engine light was not on. My car had reached a point where it was unsafe to drive. I finally did an online search and found a Kia forum where others detailed EXACTLY what was happening in my car and said the crankshaft position sensor was probably failing. Kia wanted 3 times what I paid on Amazon and even my mechanic was impressed that this part was OEM quality. It took him less than 20 minutes to install it free of charge and the problem went away. To say I am pleased is an understatement because I was thinking of selling the car. It now runs like new and life is good again!!

perfect fit and function in 2012 Kia Soul, still working perfectly at the 1 year point.

Very good price for the sensor when compared to dealer price. It appears to be the exact same part and fit as the original Kia part. The new sensor was easy to install and the random engine stalls are gone. Would recommend it and buy again.

When ordering car parts sometimes its hard to know for sure it is the right part. This was and I'm glad.

Fixed the issue with my 2012 Kia rio not starting
