  2. The Service Center
    Hi Everyone. I need help troubleshooting this. For two weeks now my 2011 LX has been having trouble starting. The engine turns over pretty good but just doesn't start. At first it would take 2 or 3 attempts before it would start but as of yesterday I was getting up to 4 and 5 tried before it...

  5. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I purchased my last two vehicles private party and had good luck with them. I have seen good deals at local dealers and autotrader but the best deals on what I want seem to be at Carmax. I have heard good and bad about them. I don't plan to get anything on my current vehicle on trade b/c it is...

    I bought the front/rear set of CF 3.0k badges from jayongmall when they first came out with them. I have kept up maintenance on it...wiping it down in the winter to get the salt off, polishing the chrome lettering, applying wax multiple times to keep it from getting damaged. Neither the...

    I cannot remember if I MIGHT have gone through a car wash with the Rain-X wash option selected.. But considering how much I hate rain x and have had problems with it in the past I'm not sure why I would do such a thing.. But it's in my mind like I might have done it once before in my optima...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I was driving today in a pretty bad snow storm. The icon, which I believe means low tire pressure, flashed for a minute or so, then went away. I pulled over, checked the tires, all showed around 36 PSI. I don't have the manual with me, I'm away from home. The icon was the wiggly tire with an...

    I did a search on these forums and couldn't find anyone with this same problem. Sometime when I start my car the radio will say "Loading Sirius" and won't ever actually load it. It is different from the "Acquiring signal" message. I get that driving under bridges and is to be expected. If I...

    I'm in the Mountain West area, and I'm pretty certain I'm going to purchase a 2013 SXL when they arrive in roughly a week. After a month of testing quite a few cars (incl. different trim Accord, Camry, Sonata, Maxima, G25, and ILX), I was set to purchase a 2012 SX, but I couldn't find the...

    I know there are 10,000 topics on here about these but I wanted to check back now that several members that bought Chinese GPS systems think about their purchase. I am thinking about buying one myself and am curious to hear everyone's opinion either positive or negative. Any hints on which to...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Perhaps I missed this in the manual, but what happens when you walk away with the key from an Optima with the engine running? The manual mentioned an alarm chime, but I don't remember it mentioning if/when the engine shuts off and/or the doors lock, etc... e.g., if I just need to run in to...
