problem #2

May 302018

Optima SX 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 131,000 miles

ALL OF A SUDDEN STUCK IN PARK, SO I OVERRODE TO GET IN GEAR, BUT NOTHING WORKS ON DASHBOARD, LOW BEAMS DON'T WORK, AIRBAG IS LIT, BUT NO OTHER LIGHTS. CAN'T RESET MILEAGE OR TRIP! REPLACED CLOCK SPRING AND DIDN'T HELP. GOT TO TAKE TO DEALER, MAYBE THEY CAN FIX IT! AIRBAG NOT WORKING SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC RECALL!
