    Hello all, As the title suggests, one day my mirrors stopped folding when I lock the car. The confirmation horn on the second click of the key fob stopped working as well. I checked and the mirror motors still work, when I flip the switch they fold and unfold. I’ve searched through for forums...

    Can someone help me? I took my 2015 Optima SXL for a brake job. They said my calipers were bad and needed to replace them. Then they said my right side was fine but needed to order the left caliper from Kia. Now they're saying they can't figure out how to fix the EPB and Auto Hold lights from...

    I have the 2016 Optima SXL with the fancy headlight that swivel and all. Recently the passenger side bulb went out so I naturally right it's just the bulb that's gone bad, since the DRL and indicators and all work perfectly fine, and bought new ones for replacement. Turns out they didn't work...

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to replace some lug bolts that I accidentally sheared off, thought it would be a simple thing. Turns out, they didn't engineer this hub assembly too well for replacing any lugs very easily. Is there anyway to just pull the hub off without having to remove the entire...

    Hi, I did something not super smart and had a paper sitting on the sliding cover to the wireless charging / USB / Cigarette Lighter bin on my 2016 SXL. When I opened and then closed the cover, the paper was gone - slipped behind the center console into the void. UNFORTUNATELY, the paper was my...

  16. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Just curious about that, folks. Zero issues with this car with regular fuel (always use Shell or Chevron), thankfully, but just curious if there's any noticeable difference with premium, like it's the case with most turbos. I was surprised not to see any reference to premium fuel in the owner's...

    Hi, I am new to these forums as me and my fiance recently purchased a 2015 Kia Optima SXL a little over 2 weeks ago. It had 120,000 miles, and we expected it to have some slight wear and tear, but we did get a good price for it in our opinion. But when we purchased it, we were told there were...
