Consumer Description
ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES. SUCH AS TURNING ON THE BLINKER MAKES ALL LIGHTS GO OUT IN CAR THEN TURN BACK ON AS WELL AS REPLACING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ENGINE: SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT SHAKES AND VIBRATIONS OFTEN TIMES. THE SAME WAY THE KIA OPTIMA ENGINE THETA LL ENGINE HAD TO BE RECALLED DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE THIS ENGINE HAS SIMILAR ISSUES AND IT OVERALL ISN'T THE BEST CAR WITH A PASSENGER SAFETY RATING OF JUST 2 OR 3 STARS. KIA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND RECALL THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE. MY ENGINE SHOULD NOT VIBRATE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO THE POINT WHERE I'M VIBRATING OBNOXIOUSLY. ALSO THE ELECTRICAL HAZARDS ARE UNREAL ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKE LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES. KIA. LOOK INTO THIS AND FIX IT. THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT.
