Car would not engage into -??Park-?? while attempting to park car in driveway. Shifter would not engage in any gear. Tried to reset button in center console. Contacted mechanic, he towed to garage. Plastic clip connected to cable broke. Earlier Kia-??s had a recall due to this issue, why not all Kias due to it is still happening. I was very fortunate that this happened to me in my driveway and not on the highway. I understand there is the same part at the other end of the cable, connects to transmission and shifter, if it also breaks it is going to be very expensive to repair due to placement of the part. I had to rent a vehicle for work while part had to be ordered and replaced.

Loud grinding noise developed in right rear brake. Upon his examination, mechanic found right rear brake caliper frozen in the engaged or closed position. Also, left rear brake caliper found to be frozen in the disengaged or open position. In essence, both rear brakes were inoperable! we were driving a car that only had front brakes functioning properly. Our mechanic couldn't remember a case where both rear brakes were inoperable on a car. We believe this problem to be unacceptable and extremely dangerous on a vehicle with only 74,314 miles and only 5 years old.

We have been having electrical issues with our 2010 Kia Optima, which currently has 45000 miles on it. The TPMS, (!) and the airbag "off/on" lights all go off and on continually. They will be on for a few days, then go off and stay off for an undetermined amount of time. The brakes also jerk our car very roughly forward when we are braking. Even if we are going 5 mph, we press on the brakes, then the car gives a big jerk before it comes to a complete stop.

When braking at lower speeds of less then 20mph the car lurches or jerks like the anti-lock brakes are engaging or the transmission is downshifting hard.
