Kia asking dealerships to inspect 2011 Optima accelerator pedal (U.S)

Kia is asking its dealerships to carefully examine the 2011 Optima�s accelerator pedal as it could be faulty.

According to Kia, the root of the issue comes from the spring intended to keep the pedal in position while driving. Kia�s repair notice states the pedal may be �noisy� and that there is �unsatisfactory� responsiveness while driving.�

The Optimas affect were produced between 16th October � 24th November. All Optimas are constructed in Hwaseong, South Korea.

Kia has just sold 135 2011 Optimas, indicating many dealerships don�t have the new car on their register yet.
