2008 Kia Optima 4dr Sedan
162-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 51000 mi US $6500 |
Well the transmission started making a weird noise while out of town on a road trip to Maryland from Texas which Kia said it was about to die. It resulted in my trip being 4 days longer w/o pay stuck wo a rental till it came in from Kia to be replaced. |
| 52500 mi US $400 |
Well before they said the transmission was bad the last time they tried telling me it was the fuel pump which i stated it was not the fuel pump but was the transmission .so was replaced at no cost 4 no reason. |
| 18510 mi | Engine seems unusually loud and buzzy during acceleration. Dealer test drove and examined onboard diagnostic computer information. They admit engine sounds unusually noisy, but claimed that they were unable to find anything unusual otherwise. |
