Good day Kia lovers and owners. Am having issues with an 012 optima. The legs feel so light at the front like I can hardly get a grip on the ground so it seems like it wants to throw me off when am driving. Don’t know if it’s a problem or it’s just me. Also when I accelerate hard on motion to overtake my car jerks real hard before it moves. Lastly my engine weighs down sometimes on it’s on like it’s carrying a load meanwhile the AC would not be on at such times. Gazzuzz you based in Phc??

strip front and rear suspension members to eliminate parts that have failed, I am not in PH

Thanks! This suggestion is supposed to eliminate all the problems I listed or just one?

Yes but they start swelling up if I bump into potholes and a single tyre cost 35k which I change at 8 in a year...Am not smiling. Some people will think am forming whenever I drive on reduced speed even far below speed limit.

What brand of tyres did you buy?

Is it also the same brand you bought on both occasions ?

Almost all brands ranging from except Dunlop. The car sometimes sound as if it doesn't have shock absorber.
Re: Kia Owner's Forum by Autopartz: 3:59pm On May 05, 2018
The quality of tyres you bought is suspect. If you bought 8 in a year, the assumption is that you changed all your four tyres twice.

It is not possible to have bought 'all tyre brands except Dunlop' during those two changes.

It is either you bought the same brand twice, or two different brands twice.

What pressure does your vulcanizer pump into your tyres?
Learn how to read a pressure gauge and always insist on 30psi, also confirm its not exceeded, you can get your own gauge to confirm what he does. A digital gauge may come in very handy.

Improperly tightened suspension parts perhaps.

Hi everyone,
I have a 2010 Optima, when started it in the morning it doesn't supply current to the 3rd plug (changed plug and coil, no way), an auto electrician said it's a brain box issue, unfortunately if I drive the car for like 10/15mins the problem goes away, hence, his brain box suggestion doesn't seem logical. I don't know so much about cars, any ideas please

Response gotten from the maintenance thread

Good day my people.

Please what could be the possible problem and solution to my kia sportage (2008 Model Automatic transmission).

It's been unable to accelerate very well. Driving from gear 1 is usually very slow to pick up. And after moving for a while, it does pick up and accelerate.

But whenever I apply break and need to start from gear 1, the same thing happens. My car cannot even climb very well.

Please, I need your assistance and a competent Kia technician around Ogba for proper repairs.
