Kia optima 2013 compressor went out after just a yr and a half. Under warranty, so they took care of it. BUT....IT WAS A REFURBISHED PART with a 12 Month warranty . It Just went out again after 18 months and of course it's out of warranty! My issue here is...the car is 3 and a half yrs old and has gone through 2 compressors! Does anyone else see my concern? Because Kia does Not! I have bought 2 brand new Cars from them...there will NOT be a third!

This car is not for long use. My Kia Optima is a 2013. I bought it used in 2017. It is now December 2020 and I have had my 1st problem that is major. I was exiting the freeway then the oil light came on and the car went dead. I had to turn my car off then turn it back on. I pulled over and check my oil and it was bone 🦴 dry. I had just had an oil change 1 week from this incident. So I bought some oil and poured it in my car. That night while driving on the road my oil light came back on and it died. I pulled over for 10 minutes and let it rest and drove it home.
