    My seat recently stopped moving backwards once I turn the car (11 SX) off and I've confirmed that the setting is in fact set to "on". Anyone experience this and/or know of a fix? TIA

    Folks, maybe you already know this, but the connecting rod issue has lead to KIA conducting a recall for our cars, not just the 120k miles extension we got earlier last year, but a recall, I called KIA today and confirmed, letters will be mailed out at the end of May. Kia service ID: sc147...

    Morning folks, Recently i Installed a big brake. On the front we had add longer wheel studs which involved replacing the front wheel bearings and adding 8mm spacers for my particular rims. I want to change the wheel studs in the rear as well and add 8mm spacers. From the pic it seems the studs...

    So like the title says. I had to purchase a new battery yesterday and after I put the new battery in all the features for the canbus module quit working. The battery was disconnected for about an hour while I was driving to test the old and get a new one. I was thinking there is a chance the...

    Weird problem I am hoping to get some ideas about while I am at work today. When I parked my car, I hit the lock button on my keyfob; the car locked and the mirrors started to fold in, then stopped, and reversed. That was weird, so I hit lock again... nothing, just silence. So I hit unlock...

    I missed my Toyota FJ Cruiser, I loved the mileage and styling of the KOH, so I bought a 2014 Subaru Outback. It fits somewhere in the middle of all that. I am going to miss the curved dashboard though. The Outback nav screen is facing the middle of the back seat. The armrest bucket is set back...

    7 months ago, I had the Xpel Ultimate clear bra installed on my car. In the process of removing and reinstalling my rear bumper, they damaged the inside tabs/prongs/whatever so that it doesn't sit flush with the body. When I point this out, they agreed to "fix" it. Not sure what they did, but...

    Do you guys travel at the posted speed limit (say 70mph) or the traffic flow speed limit (typically 80mph in a 70 in my area) I've always thought about how going 10mph over the speed limit only gives me a few minutes shaved off my travel time but I never thought about how much more (if much at...

    I saw this from a comment on youtube. "Kia no longer makes cheap cars, they make expensive on a cheap brand." One time a person asked me what kind of car i have, IMO it kinda sucked telling them it was a Kia Optima when they thought it was a Lexus from my 3.0 K Logo. Don't y'all agree? Its...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Long story short: I was driving home on the PA turnpike on Friday afternoon, cruising along in the left lane in moderate traffic doing about 70. The point I was at on the road was coming up on another exit so the cars in both lanes were beginning to bunch up. I notice brake-lights coming on and...

    Kia has updated their website. The 6M LX no longer exists. Kind of sucks, I was really hoping they would move in the right direction and make the manual gearbox available across all trim levels. Turns out they went the opposite way.
