Continuing saga, just got my Optima out of the shop after the *5th* check engine light, now I get a message when I start my car from the UVO Services: 'Automatic Diagnostics Failed. Please press [Vehicle Diagnostics] on the UVO eServices main screen.' I'm guessing as soon as I do this I'll get...

I didn't see a thread like this, so I figure I'd start one. Has there been any numbers on if shifting manumatic/paddle is faster than automatic? I'm going to assume it is if you're shifting in the lower gears (1 through 3) on the street...or at least it seems that way for me when passing slower...

​Hello group members!I have my car 3 years ago: Kia K5 2.0 LPI 2011 Automatic (works with LPG = liquefied petroleum gas) I feel very happy with my vehicle however 1 week ago I found out that it is burning a lot of engine oil, I visited the mechanic and he indicated that he had to change the...

We owned a 2010 and a 2014 and thought they both had auto folding mirrors, the 2010 mirrors dont fold when locking the car. I thought the motor was broken (even though the button inside the car will close the mirrors). I asked the dealer to look and they said the 2013 doesn't offer that. Is this...

I've done some digging here on the site and can't find anyone who has replaced theirs. I found a few posts where folks found "top button" shift knobs that apparently sound like they won't work as the Optima has a side button. Has anyone had any luck finding a replacement automatic shift knob...

Are your guys automatic headlights extremely temperamental. Mine turn the headlights on all the time when there is still TONS of light outside. Or they will turn on then off then on then off etc if there is even a little variation in light.

The car has GPS so why do i need to use my phone to download and send diagnostic information? Shouldn't this automatically upload to Kia? It doesn't make sense to me. I know someone with a 2010 base Ford Edge that sends diagnostics etc directly to Ford via the satellite.

Hello I'm Delfo and I have a 2013 Kia K5 2.0 LPI automatic LPG, the propane version for Korea. Please help me get the more information possible, specially the drivers and specification manual for this amazing car. And any other info you consider that I should know. Thanks!

Has anyone installed this? If so... What are your opinions? How difficult was the install (I'd probably have a shop do it) If a shop did it for you, what was the cost? Any issues of the unit freezing? I live in Vegas so it's always sunny but just curious of ALL thoughts I read the review on...

Does anyone else have a problem with their cars automatic headlight sensor? It works fine but I feel like it's not sensitive enough.. When it's super cloudy and dark outside or just late in the evening.. The lights usually don't come on. I usually just manually turn them on but I'd like for this...

For my 2011 EX turbo, I am seeing almost nothing on how often to change the ATF fluid. Only one small reference in the manual about checking (but not servicing) the ATF at 150,000 miles. What do you all understand the official KIA recommendation is. I just don't see much of anything, I...

I was wondering if anyone here has change the Automatic transmission fluid over to synthetic? I noticed in my owners manual for my 2012 KOH it gets changed out 96k. Don't want to wait that long.

Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything (most likely because I didn't know what exactly to search for). Obviously our cars don't have an "overdrive" but I'm a little puzzled at my transmission's operation and was hoping for some clarification. When in "D"...

Today I installed a Rain Tracker RT-50A automatic wiper module on my 2013 Optima. The system works well so far(squirt bottle tested). I am not overly familiar with how to use controls on this forum for posting pictures and such, but if anyone is interested in some pics of the install let me...

If found an article that talks about the upcoming 2014 Kia Optima facelift: Kia Optima: mid-life facelift debuts |*CarAdvice There is one interesting mention in the article that I have not heard before: "The six-speed automatic transmission has been revised, incorporating a new rev-matching...

I noticed in the menu on our cars you can have the Fuel Economy gauge automatically reset or manually reset it.. at what point does it automatically reset? Every time you start the car?

I was curious to get thoughts on the automatic mode for windshield wipers that are available on the Canadian models. From my understating, if the wipers are left in auto mode the wipers will do one swipe for diagnostic purpose any time the ignition is started. That seems to imply that it could...
