    2013 Optima EX 2.4 non turbo non hybrid 139,000. After refueling, the vehicle stalls after starting unless I rev the engine and throw it in drive and press the gas. The above condition occurred a few times before throwing engine code P0172 which read “system to rich bank 1”. Then while at a...

    I’ve been curios for a while now what the difference between the optima EX and EXL (Luxery) is. I can’t find any info on forums or websites that list what’s different between the two models.

    I have a 2013 optima EX. It came with the heated steering wheel option. I’m curious is it possible to get rid of the heated steering wheel and add paddle shifters since I know you can’t have both.

    Howdy, I recently had an issue with my 2013 Optima EX where the coolant system had a major leak and nearly caused my engine to overheat. While driving down the road I heard a strange "hissing" noise and pulled over immediately. When I popped the hood, I noticed steam being released right next...
