Optima

  • 99,000 miles
Air bag lights will not go off dealer reset but came back on soon afterwards. Another dealer said it was not covered under warranty and part was over $1000. Multiple dead car batteries due to running lights not turning off after you park the car. Please for the love of everything good in this world just recall and fix already.
