Optima LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 125,000 miles

The key will stick in the ignition. Also, the key will turn but not enough to actually start the car. If you turn it over and over it would eventually turn all the way but got worse and worse. Today I have tried multiple times to start the car but no luck. I read this is common among all models of Kia's and Kia basically tells everyone so sad to bad. I am sad about all this as it gets excellent gas mileage and is very comfortable. Lots of room. But what good is all of that if I can't drive it?. I have never had a kia and unfortunately after reading about all the unresolved issues all through the steering column of many Kia models since 2006 I will never own another.
