1 O2 Sensor problem of the 2006 Kia Motor Optima

Failure Date: 03/11/2011

My kia Optima 2006 has had several problems: bad oxygen sensor, an electrical short, and most recently- will not shift out of first gear. Kia says my VIN is not included in the current recall. I took the car to a kia dealer a few weeks before the gears quit shifting, but they couldn't find a problem. I have replaced six headlights and three tail lights. This car is a lemon! please ask kia to extend their current recall as, obviously more cars are affected than they are reporting. Please investigate!.
