problem #1

Optima LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,000 miles

This car woke me up on several occasions sometimes 3 and 4 in the morning. The horn started blowing for no apparent reason. It's NOT as security feature of the car. Also, the belts squeal on this car nonstop. I have had them fixed several times and I usually have to replace belts about every 2 months. Quite expensive.
