  2. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    I owned a 2013 Optima SXL for several years. Last year, I rear ended someone and totaled my car. I hit a early 2000's Explorer, which suffered minimal damage, but my Optima was absolutely crushed. The most concerning part to me was that my airbags did not go off. My wife and I will be having...

    I just bought a certified pre-owned 2018 Optima. It does not have any charging ports in the back seat. If I install some on the back side of the center console, will it void the factory warranty? Thanks!

    My 2015 Optima EX only has 11k miles and I've noticed this issue for a long time now, maybe since new.
