Takata recall: The tire low light on he dash is always on no matter what I do. I have always had my tires changed from the dealer never from a third party. This is inconvenient for me because this is the identification for a low tire. So anytime I suspect a low tire I have to stop my vehicle where ever I may be get out and walk around the vehicle to manually test the pressure in my vehicles tires..

Recently my transmission case cracked as it passed over a manhole cover on a street being resurfaced. My dealers service department said this has happened a lot. I waited nine weeks for the part to come in. I lost $1,100on car rentals. Car's transmission case is too low to the ground.

When I am driving my 2010 Kia Optima and go to slow down at 20 mph (only at 20 mph and only when slowing down) my car does a jerk or lurching motion, with a hard down shift to 1st gear.this happens no matter where im driving. From what ive been told theres a transmission update software which when updated. After being updated the dealer has to rset/lear the relearn procedure. Both steps must be done to eliminate the lurching/jerking. I feel there should be a recall for this problem.
