Coming on here as a last resort because I’ve been trying to fix this noise to no avail for months (I am guessing it is coming from the suspension because it gets loud over bumps/potholes and makes no noise on the highway). At the beginning of the summer, I changed my rear shocks and shortly...

I've had an odd noise start up recently with my '13 Optima when turning sharply at speed: there is a sharp CLUNK from the rear of the vehicle, cannot tell if it's coming from the right or left side, but it sounds like it's coming from the left. The suspension has not changed/the car is not...

I've become a proud owner of a 2018 Kia Optima LX (My first Kia!). I love almost everything about it except I've been running into a bit of issues with road noise bothering me enough that my ears ache a little bit after driving it for 30 mins +. I've talked to the dealership and they've even...

I having an issue with my 2013 Optima 2.4 and hoping someone might have an idea what might be going on. When I tap the gas pedal there is an unusual noise that seems to come from the intake ( like burping ). The noise goes away at higher RPM but the REALLY odd thing is it will only make this...

So my 2012 Optima Hybrib had a noise coming from the rear. Took it to the dealer. In the end it was coming from front and back. Ended up replacing front left and right control arms and upper strut mounts as well as both rear stabilizer links. Throw in an alignment and we are at $2500...

Hi Guys, My Front suspension has this nasty clunking noise. Its really weird. Didn't always happen. Its when I do go over bumps but even small bumps. Almost like a reverse bottom out. Any idea? I have my car going in for routine maintenance tomorrow and will have them look at it but I...

Hi all, Having problems with my AC airflow. It started with the dash servo/clicking noises back in the fall. After trying the temp changes or vent direction changes I found the noise to be coming from when the airflow was moved from head to toe. So, I ordered the new actuator and put it in...

The brake pedal on my ‘14 SX-T has started making a squeaking noise. I know it’s not the pads/rotors because I can feel it in the pedal and it happens when I’m park and not moving as well. Anyone have this problem and a quick fix for it?
