  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hi All, Have a new teen driver who will be driving my hand-me-down 2012 Optima, but I would prefer something with a blind-spot indication. 2014 mirrors have that feature, and I'm thinking of swapping the 2012 mirrors out to the 2014-15 ones (cheaper than swapping cars :) ). They look the same...

    I have a 2012 Kia optima ex and recently my fog lights stopped working. High beams and low beams are working just fine. The fog lights would come on with the right turn signal on but would not come on any other time. I read that it could be the switch gone bad and replaced the turn signal stalk...

  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    we have a optima infinity 2012 automatic model. It’s got quite a bit of miles on but for the past year the car cuts out, especially while driving long distance. Sometimes it just slacks back. Like air is coming through the gas pipe. For a split second the check engine light comes on, and then...

  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Does anyone have experience in adding cleaning ports to the intake manifold by adding threaded inserts into the plastic runner? My thinking is that a very small screw could plug it in between cleanings but still allow direct to valve spray of GDI cleaner of choice. I don't know what kind of...
