Replying to: backy (Mar 15, 2009 9:53 am) You're exactly right.... I did a evil snicker when I saw those two bars (like cars used in the old days in trunks, and some still do) come slapping down in that Honda. I thought, "Wow, they really designed my KIA well." Those trunk struts are on the left and right side. I think that is a German design because my Focus had that.   I need to take one thing back.... my Optima has only ONE hood strut. I just went out and checked.. Regardless I just throw it up an that is that.. I do miss the light under the hood to check the oil in my dark garage.   I think one of those shielded work-light that hook onto the inside of the hood work great.   You guys have a good day..

Replying to: dkh1967 (Mar 15, 2009 10:10 am) A BMW 3-Series I owned had only one hood strut too. That may be to maximize access to the engine.

Replying to: dkh1967 (Mar 15, 2009 9:48 am) Hyundai and KIA both have auto-locking doors.A tech just needs to program them.They might tell you that they can't do it,but they would be wrong.You just need to find a more knowledgeable tech.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 15, 2009 4:08 pm) No, some love affairs are fleeting. Sometimes you find out that sexy lady is "high maintenance", likes to grab your credit card a lot etc. I could go on with this metaphor, but I'll spare everyone so we can return to our regularly scheduled program.

got it. Now back to our regularly scheduled auto program.
#811 of 855 Can we adjust '07 kia gas pedal tension? by jimrich Apr 02, 2009 (12:44 am)
My '07 kia is very nice BUT the gas pedal is a little too light and makes smooth, gradual accel rather difficult and jerky sometimes. I want to know if anyone has adjusted the tension of your gas pedal and how. thanks, Jim Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Apr 02, 2009 3:56 am)

More than 28 months on my wife's car with absolutely no problems. Flawless. Gas mileage is slowly improving. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (May 09, 2009 7:13 pm)
