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...

Just called Kia Canada to see if I can get the cars history. I even called the 2 dealers that show up on carfax. I was told the only warranty repair that comes up is, valve cover gasket, oil feed line and tubes and the turbo. This was done this passed summer. So the turbo has less than 6k kms...

Yes, first rock 'chip' hits the freaking camera. Called dealer and said bumper has to come off. Haven't had a single good experience with that, mainly due to pesky tabs that readily break, so not planning to replace it if that's the case. At least not now. Also wanted to install fiberglass...

My mom's 2012 Optima EX engine seized and replaced under warranty last week. I posted her experience in thread Engine Failure thread. You can read my post in there for all info. Have the replacement long blocks been revised to prevent the oil starvation issues that cause the engines to...

Last year I replaced the rotors on my wife's 2013 EX with R1 non-slotted rotors and ceramic pads. This year I needed to do mine, so I decided to go with slotted for a little better performance. Rotor fitment is perfect and looks great compared to OEM. BEFORE AFTER For the small price, I...

I ordered some sample vinyl for my Drone but it didn't work out, so I thought I'd try something different on the Optima. If the vinyl isn't too expensive I will do the door trim Chrome the same way. 1st close up is stock, 2nd close is black chrome; subtle but I like it. Thoughts?

My 2014 SX-T is making a strange high-pitched hissing noise when the vent fan is on. With recirc on or off, the noise still persists. It's intermittent but occurs about 80% of the time the car is on. I had the dealer replace the blower motor, but it didn't help. Is there a second fan, maybe an...

I own a 2013 EX Optima. Around 50k miles I noticed a clunking noise in my front end when going over certain terrain. Took it to my local mechanic (been using them for 8 years, solid guys) and they told me I needed new shocks/struts as well as a lower right ball joint. How many miles did you put...

I took my car in a couple weeks ago to have the driver's side heating element replaced. They told me they would have to replace the seat cushion as the element is contained within it. I've noticed since getting my car back the right side bolster (on the part of the seat where your butt sits) is...

List anything that has been fixed or replaced under warranty...interested to see what people have had done

Replaced the 2013 SXL with a new 2015 SXL a couple weeks ago. I didn't think I could ever get over not having the LED DRLs that my 2013 had. But I did..lol I love the new LED tail lights and LED fog lights. I also wasn't too crazy about the criss cross interior seats but I'm never really...

So I have had the car since dec. Purchased the car with 49K miles it now has 53k. And is in the shop for a new transmission. It felt like it was being held back like a caliper stuck. But then found out if you put the car in neutral it would go in reverse up to 10mph on a flat surface and even...

Just hit 100,000 miles on our 2011 ex that we bought new. Only one problem, dome light stopped working which was replaced under warranty. Have never had any other problem, been a great car. Any thoughts on what might be preventive maint at this point?

As the title states. First impressions of new tires are great, but lets hear about the tires you've spent enough time on to give an honest review. Here are the basic guidelines: 1) Keep it relatively brief. List pros, cons and any comparisons to other similar tires. 2) Positive reviews...

I have seen older threads on this subject where people were in the same boat as me. I changed my interior lights to led. I was going good till I got to the last one, then I accidentally made a big boo boo and everything died. :cry: I was able to start the car only by sticking the key fob into...

I'm asking because I purchased a pair off of eBay and they're the OEM LED fog lights, everything looked good. When I went to install them after getting the front bumper off I noticed that the plugs aren't compatible and I'm wondering if anyone else with a 14 has upgraded their fogs to be LED...

so I replaced the yellow turns on my SXL with these red led's they have 22 red 5730 led's on them and are pretty hefty. These And here is a video of them flashing, they are a perfect color match to stock I know, for some reason red just bleeds over so bad on my phone when I make these videos...

I had my car in for a broken seat heater element, when I went to pick up the car I noticed a big chip out of the leather at the 9 O'clock position, showed it to the Service Manager. He easily agreed to replace it, but the next day the one he got shipped had leather that looked very grainy, not...
