What owners say
This car has given me problems first the engine went up just locked up. The brakes pulsate won't stop and I have changed the rotors and brakes 3 times. The dealer said nothing is wrong. Suspensions car rocks and bounces . Now the radio is out. And my window won't go up if put down. The was in motion for all.
The following happens anytime while driving the electronic control unit and software, sensors, actuators, warning lights, fault codes, and performance related concerns of the electronic stability control system. My passenger window won't go up once you put it down without a fight. I been to the dealer 4 times and it's not fixed.
I bought a 2015 kia optima ex brand new off the lot in october 2014. Since then I have had to replace both drivers side and passenger side window regulator modules. The first one that broke (passenger) in march 2016 and was told because the window shattered its not covered under warranty. To replace the module and window it was $700. The drivers side window regulator went bad in july 2017. That was $250 to replace since the window stayed in tact. Here we are november 2018 and for the second time the passenger side regulator has gone bad. That's 3 times I have replaced the same part with kia genuine parts (purchased from kia) in 4 years. I have done extensive research and many other people have had issues with the same thing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 kia optima. The contact stated that the window was jammed in the down position. The failure occurred without warning. Prestige auto sales (n8890 wi-57, brillion, wi) diagnosed that the window regulator failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,620.
