Complaint
2008
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
INDICATOR LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG HAS IRREGULAR PERFORMANCE. CAN'T DEPEND ON OPERATION OF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. HAVE MADE 4 OR 5 COMPLAINTS WITH DEALER AND NO RESOLUTION. LOOKING AT INTERNET IT APPEARS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS MODEL YEARS ON THE KIA OPTIMA AND OTHER MODELS WITHIN THE KIA FAMILY. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE RESOLUTION PRIOR TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT FUNCTION.

STEERING
I AM A NEW OWNER OF A 2012 LX KIA OPTIMA WITH 27K MILES. MY CONCERN IS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GREATER THAN 65 MPH YOU HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AND FROM PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT. IT FEEL AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL SLIPS AND IS QUITE ALARMING. I HAVE TO WORK HARDER TO KEEP IT IN THE LANES MAKING ME MORE TIRED. *TR
