    I have a weird small issue with my Kia Optima 2017 which just started suddenly. In drive mode, when braking the AC fan/blower will momentarily speed up and go back to normal as soon as I release the brakes. It happens occasionally while driving and not when idle. No one is able to figure out...

    Hi I have a 2016 optima. The other day I was driving down the road at 65mph and I lost engine power and breaks. I don't remember if I lost power steering or not I was trying not to crash the car with my kid in it. Once I was able to coast to a stop I put a code reader on it and had 18 codes that...

    I am an old broad trying to keep my old vehicles running well. I have put a lot of money in repairs for my KIA Optima this past year. Most of them have been done because the car kept stalling and having difficulty starting. Mechanic kept saying it was different things and we needed to change...

    Hey all, I've got a 2012 Optima SX with just over 110k miles on it. Late 2017 or 2018 I had the engine block replaced as part of the recall and have had very little major repairs needed. I'm the second owner, I bought it ~2015. I do regular maintenance with synthetic oil every 5k miles or so...

    I bought a used 2016 Kia Optima last year and everything has been working great except for one thing. The steering wheel audio controls and handsfree mode don't work. None of the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel function at all. I know the feature is installed because when I get a...

    Hello, I have been dealing with a progressive issue over the last couple of years after filling the fuel tank in my 2012 Kia Optima. When it first started, I would fill the tank all the way and it would have difficulty starting but I could get it to start after trying to turn over a few times...

    Hello, Has anyone else had their radio slowly go out in their Optima? Mine has been out for probably 1 1/2 years now. When it started going out it would turn on when I started the car but it might turn off and turn back on by the time I got to my destination. Then, it would be on when I started...

    Heyooo, Was just wondering, do the dimensions for 2011-2015 optimas have the same as 2016 badges? I was looking at scooping up some of the led badges and waterproofing it myself and was wondering if they would still fit on a 2016?

    So a couple months ago I noticed a pop sound come from the front driver side area whenever I pressed the gas or brake pedal usually when I am starting off a stop or coming to a stop. So I finally gave up on trying to find where the noise is coming from and took it to a Kia dealership. I got...
