1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2020

While driving on the interstate, my kia Optima stopped accelerating, we were luckily near an exit and were able to pull over to the side of the road. The lights and music stayed on but the car would not start again. There was nothing happening up to the point that would have warned us this was going to happen, the check engine light never came on. I had to get the vehicle towed home.

2 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2017

Car will not start occasionally- there are several internet comments about this happening to many kia owners- some remedy is to start it in neutral- shift gear from park to drive back to park and then try to start it- wiggle gift shift etc- dealer claims they need to reproduce in order to repair but they are ignoring the fact that this is a safety issue if someone gets stranded - I have extended warranty yet they refuse to try to repair.
