general problems of the 2009 Kia Motor Optima

After 131,500 miles, struts, rotors and pads wore out. Lower ball joint and control arm also wore out, no injuries or accident.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 kia Optima. The contact stated that while making a right turn, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact slowdown depresses the brake pedal and turn the wheel right and left, the vehicle was able to drive normal. The contact stated that the failure occurs three times within the two months period. The vehicle was taken to jeff belzer's kia Chevrolet Dodge ram kia dealer, (21111 cedar Ave, lakeville, mn 55044, (952) 232-6897) but was not diagnosed or repared. The vehicle was later taken to luther bloomington kia dealer, (1701 american blvd w, bloomington, mn 55431, (612) 424-7641) where IA diagnostic testing was completed but could not find a failure code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Aw.

My steering wheel is locked and nothing will help unlock it. Is there a re call.

The esc alarm came on and the car began shuddering. I tried to brake but it seemed to make the shuddering worse. It became difficult to steer so I coasted the vehicle. To the shoulder of the road and waited a few minutes. I turned the ignition again and the car came on first try but the esc alarm was still illuminated and usually is although it turns off from time to time.

After the problems with the rotor and pads which [xxx] says he did replace both back pads with generic pads even though my receipt showed something different; I went to get the car appraise to see how much I could get for it on a trade-in vehicle, I was told the car need front bushings so that knocked $900 on the amount they would give me for it. Bushings, on a car barely driven and I have a 10 year warranty that comes with it, a 10 year warranty I purchase and a 5 year warranty on the tires. Can you believe this? I can't. I guess if I drove it every day the way I should the car would be completely overhauled at my expense and all the warranties mean nothing; my money just went right up in smoke. This is definitely a piece of junk or I am being scammed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
