I bought my optima in 2017, it’s an SX with just about every option that was available. Got it with 55k on it and it sits at 110k as of today. I’ve got the common misfire on Cylinder 2 and I’m between either cleaning or replacing that injector. Have NGK 1422’s I’m picking up tomorrow... I’ve...

Please don't hate me because I like quiet pipes on motorcycles....(I've been riding for 50 years)...and don't get all "fan-boy" on me when I say the Optima is a noisy car. It is. It's not my "opinion", it's a matter of fact. Reviewers and auto journalists write about it. The car is not well...

This is the first time in a long time that I love my car. I drive a lot and my old car (2015 Prius) just did not make me happy, especially when gas prices dipped right after I got it. I've driven plenty of high-end cars and to me, the Optima really has that feeling. It's a little heavy...

My wife and I love our Optima Hybrid. In early April I took it in at 55,000 miles before the bumper to bumper 60K warranty expired. There was a clicking noise in the front. They diagnosed the problem as some front brake parts and a control arm. They ordered the parts and told me to come the...

We have happily owned 6 Kia vehicles. 2 Sedona's 2 Optima's, a Sportage and a Forte. And I am really trying to stop handing over my money willingly for the Stinger. LOL But my absolute favorite is my 2013 Kia Optima SLX. I LOVE this car and for proof I have a 125,000 miles on it! Will not buy...

Hey Everyone, My name is Jessica and I currently live in Fresno, California. I am currently at the love yet hate my 2013 Kia Optima Ex stage with my car. There are many things I love about my car but some serious randomness I am ready to beat it over. Example: I literally closed my driver...

I'm new here and seeking some help. I guess I have to post here so here goes: My KIA alerted me to a Hybrid Charging Issue before stalling at an intersection and refusing to start again. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Kia dealer who did extensive diagnostic work. They determined that a...

Hey! I'm Angela, live in Tacoma, WA and absolutely love my Optima. My "grocery getter" is a KIA Forte and I like to think of my Optima as the big bad-ass sister ;)

Hello to all Optima Drivers. I live in Long Island, NY which has some nasty traffic. I recently joined group because when I was searching online for an answer to lost turbo boost with my 2012 SX, I found the answer right here. An excellent post discussed the "Waste gate" issue which answered my...

Now that I have had my 2012 for 6 months I love things about my Optima that I never had in a vehicle. The other vehicles we own are older. #1 AC seats-I am never buying another vehicle with out AC seats if it has leather. #2 Dual pane sunroof-I always buy vehicle with sunroof but with the dual...

I've loved Optimas for a few years now, and we have all heard they are really safe, and this and that. However, I think this article just shows how safe they are. This is my cousins car, a 2015 Optima. What is not said in the article is that they got Tboned (as shown from the photos), but the...

Hi Folks, I have owned my 2012 red Optima for a couple of years now. I commute a hundred miles round trip daily and she does the job very well and reliably. Apart from a fuel pump failure (one in engine bay) that was fixed quickly under warranty she's been faithful and flawless. I bought my...

I recently got help from this forum in diagnosing that the high pressure fuel pump on my 2012 Optima EX was the culprit my stumbling engine and acceleration problems. Armed with good info, I got the Divisional Parts and Service Mgr to cut the repair cost in half (my car was past warranty). $360...
