Optima Hybrid ES

  • CVT transmission
  • 145,000 miles

I was driving on the highway with my children. We got off on an access road and stopped at a stop light. When the light turned green I pushed the gas to go and the car didn't move anywhere. I was shocked because I was still in drive and I have never had a problem with this car before period so I turned the car off. When I pressed the brake to turn the car back on it seemed like it powered up although the normal dings didn't play that usually do when you start the car. So I put the car in all the gears and the car change the gears because The backup camera came on when I put it in reverse. But the car would not move. I had to have a tow truck come in get the car. The only repair ever made on this car was the clock Spring and I had that down last week at the Kia dealership. I guess I will call them tomorrow and see what they say.
