We should ask Kia for the badge like Volvo...   http://www.volvohelp.com/volvo_high_mileage_club.htm   get a badge for every 100,000 miles ? Anyone want to write Kia on this ?   from the UK   http://www.kiaownersclub.co.uk/

#561 of 578 Opinions on 2004 Optima LX by lhy Jun 30, 2009 (9:17 pm)
I am thinking about buying a used 2004 Optima LX with V-6 engine.   What are your opinions about the reliability of this car, especially the transmission and engine?   Are the general maintenance and repair costs expensive?   Is there an issue with the timing belt wearing out prematurely?   What kind of gas mileage do you get?

Replying to: lhy (Jun 30, 2009 9:17 pm) TO be honest if there is no service records on any car whether dealer or small garage. serviced do not buy the car.   The reliability is good if serviced. Service is no more or less than other cars in its class. Timing belts must be replaced by 70K you can also have the car checked by a reputable shop for around $50 and let them go over it Replies to this message: lhy (Jul 01, 2009 12:04 am)

Replying to: capt4 (Jun 30, 2009 9:35 pm) Are there any problems with non-dealer mechanics working on the car? Or can most generic repair shops handle a KIA?   How about the issue with the front sub-frame recall?

Replying to: capt4 (Dec 13, 2008 4:53 pm) My 2004 Kia Optima has it in the tank. Open trunk door, fold back seats of car. You will see a oval cover, remove (does not have screws), you will see a round cover with about6 screws, this is your fuel pump. I have not done the filter replacement yet, but according some postings it is part of the pump. Just be careful since you are dealing with a very flammable area.

Replying to: analyzerlx (Jan 17, 2008 7:27 am) I have over 123,000 miles on the car. I get an average of 20 MPG in Las Vegas city driving. I haven't gotten any services done to the car. I need to replace the timing belt and water pump, along with other maintenance. Very well-built car in my opinion, totally changed my view of the brand.

Replying to: jose4autos (Aug 17, 2009 7:51 am) Thanks   I understand that you need a special tool to take the fuel filter off the fuel pump which is attached to it   The dealer stated that had to take out the back seat to remove the fuel filter, it was laborious.and costly somewhere around $ 200+ $$$$   Any idea of what the cost is to replace a simple fuel filter and why the heck did they put it in such a place?

#568 of 578 Gas tank filling problem by skal Oct 13, 2009 (5:48 am)
I would like to hear from anyone that has a solution to fixing a problem with filling the gas tank. I have 2003 Optima and when I try to fill the gas tank the pump cuts off about every 2 seconds like the tank is full. It takes 15 minutes to put gas in the car.
