Optima

  • Automatic transmission
  • 189,275 miles

I've been having problems with my Car - last week I went to get an oil change and the man told me that I didn't have any oil in my car. My steering wheel makes a noise when I turn. My horn doesn't work, the AC takes forever to get cold - it's a lot!!!!

Optima LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

I purchased my 2015 Kia Optima LX with 22,000 miles and have changed the oil once a month since I purchased the car, about every 2000-3000 miles. Recently i have noticed that my car is burning a lot of oil and recently I have started having to put at least 1 quart in every 2-3 days. Sometimes I can hear rattling or ticking inside the engine and it has became very sluggish while driving, especially uphills or accelerating on the highway. I do have receipts for all of my oil changes and will be contacting the dealer to hopefully get it fixed under warranty. If not, I will sue KIA. Updates will be posted as the situation progresses.
