Optima Hybrid EX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles

When you're on an existing call (before getting into the kia optima hybrid) the call doesn't automatically connect to the Bluetooth. It only allows you to speak on the phone or through the speaker phone. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7. I called Kia to tell them about this issue, they simply said it wasn't designed. It wasn't designed for your call to connect to the car's bluetooth? Every care connects. I personally think this is a glitch. It's unsafe and drivers can get a ticket for holding their phone. Why have a bluetooth feature that works half the time. (half the time meaning you have to be in the car and on a new call for the bluetooth to work). I experience this issue everyday and I want to get out of my lease for it. Kia did not disclose this issue at the time of signing the lease. If I knew about this problem, I wouldn't have got this car.
