I had to have the seat heat element pad replaced in my drivers seat. I had a KIA dealer do this and I am under warranty. However, I am surprised and disappointed to discover that I can feel and hear the new pad under my leather upholstery. It feels and sounds like the pad is made of fine...

I have a 2012 Hybrid EX and I just leaped over the 180K miles mark. My car "knock on wood" is running flawlessly. I purchased this vehicle used 3.5 years ago at 82K miles. I travel about 100 - 150 miles a day for work. I am currently getting about 32 MPG highway miles. I remember getting about...

My optima hybrid has about 130k miles on it and works perfectly except for this one odd issue that I nor the dealer can figure out. Every so ofter (about once a month), the car will for no reason act as if the 12v is totally dead. However, I do not believe that this is the case. My jumper box...

I have a 2019 kia optima LX 2.4L with 10000 miles on it. I bought it with 6000 and ever since I bought it, it has had this issue. It doesn't happen all the time but when I accelerate, it feels like it misfires or isn't getting enough fuel. It does it at low rpm's, high rpm's, and even when I...

Hi, I have a 2013 EX T-GDI and the engine blew at 126,000 km about a year and a half ago. It was replaced under the recall at the time by Kia free of cost of course. The manager was rude and mentioned that he would not replace it again if it blows.. I read online that after the the engine...

Hello everyone! My name is Cory and I’ve owned a 2016 Kia Optima EX for a few months now. I’m coming from owning 2 Chevy impalas so kias and how they work are new to me. Some of the upgrades I would like to do are: • cold air intake • throttle body spacer • interior lighting (brighter) •...

Howdy! Im borrowing my mother’s 2010 Optima. It has this frequent loud and annoying rattle that seems to come from near the center console. It only happens when you go above 50mph. It’s driving me nuts. What could this be? She only has 44k miles on it and does maintenance on time Ext. I’m...

New Member, old model 2009 Optima LX, new problem: Front passenger side window goes up but won't come down. It's sill in that state so any help/tips would be appreciated. TIA

Hello all, This is my first post. Yesterday I bought a Kia Optima EX 2016, that includes navigation and a bunch of extras. It has the Android app already installed on it, but no Apple Carplay. I came home from the dealership to learn that Kia had put out a free update that added CarPlay to...

First time here, hello everyone! Swapped the badges today, it just keeps getting better. :cool:

I'm losing my mind!!!! I recently purchased a 2013 optima, no nav, with infinity. The factory stereo leaves alot to be desired, especially in the "user friendly" area! Plus I need a new back up camera. So figured may as well replace the factory HU with the AWESOME Pioneer unit I had in my last...

Has anyone had an issue with the cruise control not disengaging after the coupling recall? Service adviser just told me I have to 'fully engage the brake' before the cruise will disengage. Before the recall a light tap on the brake (as is normal in every other vehicle) would disengage the...

Hello All, I never would have thought I would be in this position ever in my life. Like I prepare so much just to avoid minor things now this lol, it's crazy. My 2015 kia optima is around 70k , I have maxcare warranty from carmax till 100k and I did the recall upgrade so my engine is covered...

Howdy all! First Kia...bought it for the standard safety features. I came here because I get ZERO indication that my FCW or AEB is active? I commute 40 miles a day in heavy traffic...assume I would get something...but nada... The Lane Assist (car in two lanes) and steering wheel icons show...

Car lights come on with bell and brakes go to the floor. Have to try to come to a stop with the grinding noise shut down car, restart and goes away. Comes back occasionally others have had this issue with one confirmed accident

So long story short, it looks like I have a blown rear shock on my SX with 47,000 miles. Not covered under warranty, as I am lowered on Kinetic springs. Have searched high and low for replacements, and looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet and order OEMS for about $124 each. Many...

So I just purchased a base model Optima a few months ago, I didn’t have the money at the time to get the model up with the sunroof and leather seats. I’m going to get leather seats installed next month, and I wanted to get the moonroof installed as well. From what I’m told though, getting a...
