problem #2

Optima

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles

This is bullshit!!!! You cannot ever relax and your arm kills me. If accelerating at all it pulls drastically to the right. It is not minor. I have got no answers at all but it is not a tire alignment or tire problem. Told it is cause it is a turbo. Why would it be so over kill. Love this car but this is pure bullshit!!!!

problem #1

Jan 022014

Optima GDI 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles

GOT THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2013. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT, GAS MILLAGE PERFECT, EXCEPT THAT THE PROBLEM STARTED LATE LAST YEAR AND IS GETTING WORSE. HARD TO CONTROL ON THE ROAD. I'M WORRY ABOUT SAFETY FOR ME AND THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR. I LIVE IN FREMONT CALIFORNIA AND TRAVEL TO PALO ALTO OVER THE BRIDGE USING DUMBARTON BRIDGE.

ALSO SOUND FROM THE BELT WHEN I STOP

I WILL BE CALLING KIA AND WILL POST RESULTS FROM THE DEALER LATER.

IF ANYONE HAVE RESULTED THIS PROBLEMS OR HAVING ISSUES WITH KIA PLEASE WRITE AND SEND ME YOUR EXPERIENCE.

THIS IS SCARY AND I DON'T WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO KILL OR GET KILLED ON AN ACCIDENT FROM A MALFUNCTION OF THIS CAR.

THANKS
