My abs warning lamp came on braking seems okay. My blind spot is not working warning light is on.
My complaint is regarding the rear windshield, which came with the vehicle when I purchased it new in 2016 from a kia dealership (santa fe kia, santa fe, new mexico). The Optima has never been in an accident. Over the last several years, the rear windshield has become increasingly blurry making it difficult to see traffic behind me. This situation is worse particularly at night. The blurriness is both from the outside looking in and inside looking out. I have called several kia dealers and they claim that they are not aware of the problem, and have told me that the windshield is not warranted.
Air bag light came on after I also began having issues with blind spot detection warning lights. Abs lights on as well. Took vehicle to kia dealer in gainesville GA and they told me it was the left rear wheel sensor. Wanted $800 to repair ( no longer under warranty). Took vehicle to my mechanic, who ordered the part and replaced sensor. Abs lights & bsd lights went off for almost 2 weeks, then came back on. Air bag light has not gone off.
