2023 Kia K5 problems
The Kia K5, formerly known as the Kia Optima (Korean: 기아 옵티마), is a mid-size car manufactured by Kia since 2000 and marketed globally through various nameplates. First generation cars were mostly marketed as the Optima, although the Kia Magentis name was used in Europe and Canada when sales began there in 2002. For the second-generation models, Kia used the Kia Lotze and Kia K5 name for the South Korean market, and the Magentis name globally, except in the United States, Canada, Malaysia and the Middle East, where the Optima name was retained until the 2021 model year. The K5 name is used for all markets since the introduction of the fifth generation in 2019.
First generation (MS; 2000)
From 2000–2005, Optimas were a rebadged variant of the Hyundai Sonata, differing from the Sonata only in minor exterior styling details and equipment content. It was first shown in South Korea in July 2000 and was the first product of the Kia-Hyundai platform integration plan.
In Australia, the Optima was introduced in May 2001, offered only with a 2.5 L V6 engine, and choice of manual or automatic transmission. The updated Optima was offered with a new 2.7 L engine, 4-speed automatic (the manual was dropped), and features such as full leather interior and alloy wheels were made standard. Thanks in part to better marketing, sales increased to 41,289 units in 2005, an all-time high. The Optima was sold until 2006, when it was replaced by the Magentis.

Common 2023 Kia K5 problems
Based on complaints from owners of the Kia K5 2023, several common problems have been reported:
- Electrical System Issues: Owners have reported problems with the electrical system, including issues with wireless CarPlay connection, warning lights on the instrument panel, and faulty sensors affecting tire pressure, headlights, and the speedometer. One instance even led to a vehicle fire due to an electrical system problem.

- Transmission Issues: There have been reports of transmission problems, including a malfunction in the transmission oil pump leading to a complete loss of drive power, which increases the risk of a crash.
- Spark Plug Harness and Ignition Coil Pack: Some owners have faced issues related to the spark plug harness, resulting in violent shaking of the car and the check engine light flashing. Replacing the ignition coil pack and spark plugs resolved this issue for some owners.

- VIN: 5XXG64J20PG
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: I submitted a previous report NHTSA ID: 11488746 and have not heard anything. I continue to have this problem and am afraid it could cause a severe accident. When I come to a stop with the "Auto Hold" engaged the acceleration increases to 4 rpms or a little higher so I hold the brake down hard with my foot in fear that the Auto Hold will not work. I proceed to shift it in Park then as i take my foot off the brake the acceleration returns to normal. This is very alarming and has occurred to me at least 20 times since I've had the car. I have had the car in the dealership but they do not see anything wrong with it and does not register any Error codes. The car has less than 10k miles on it.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-09-30
- VIN: 5XXG14J27PG
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY
- Summary: I noticed several internal markings like streaks on the left windshield. I presented this issue to KIA ASAP. KIA service managers examined the windshield and refused to acknowledge that it was internal, possibly due to a manufacturing defect from a containment during the manufacturing process from the windshield company. They do claim that they feel pits on the windshield, which was due to another dealership scraping the object to see if it was external or internal. KIA told me to file a claim with my auto insurance company and that it is not covered under warranty. I am concerned that the windshield integrity is compromised and a possible danger to someone hitting the windshield which could cause additional injuries from the safety glass deficiency.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-05
- VIN: 5XXG64J25PG
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: Received an oil change as part of normal service schedule on a 2023 Kia K5 vehicle purchased August of 2022 (from different dealership). 4 days after this service was conducted, the drain plug in the oil system of the vehicle fell out of my car, therefore draining my vehicle of the oil it needs to operate normally, causing the car to completely stall near my home. I had to pay out of pocket at a nearby Express Oil Change facility to have a new drain plug and oil put into car, after which I immediately brought my vehicle back to this dealership to ascertain what happened. This is the SECOND time this same exact issue has occurred with my vehicle (the first time occurring after an oil change at a different Kia dealership in Charlotte, NC), which I brought to my service advisor's attention prior to them beginning the oil change service. I expressed to this service department that I am extremely concerned there is something malfunctioning or defective within the vehicle that has caused this issue TWICE in an almost-new vehicle, and that I was now concerned there could be possible damage to my engine from this reoccurring issue. The service department at Kia Wesley Chapel did absolutely nothing to address my concerns or the issue other than replacing the drain plug (yet again). This Kia service department, and KIA overall, refuses to recognize or admit to any issue within the vehicle, and I was told to "wait and see if it happens again".

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-15
- VIN: 5XXG64J28PG
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The car was 4 months old when I was trying to get home when all of a sudden I noticed all the engine lights started to go out. With a few minutes on the road, the car automatically shut down in the middle of the road. My head almost hit the steering wheel and I was so close to hitting another car. I tried to start the car but it wouldn't start, the engine was making a strange noise and it smelled like burning. I waited 45 minutes on the side of the road and started the car. I drove the car to Kia and the fastest the car will go was 25 miles. When I got to Kia I explained everything that had happened to the car. They did not assure me that the Kia warranty was going to pay for everything and that they were going to investigate what was wrong with the car. It was a wiring issue and was covered under warranty. I brought the car home around 6:300 p.m. m. From the Kia body shop and before I pulled out of the parking lot, I had the same problem again! The check engine light came on and the car came to a screeching halt again. I drove the car back to the body shop. I didn't tell him anything about what was wrong with the car. The car was serviced, however you should have no problem with a new 2023 car.

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to say that I completely agree with you about the 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6. It was a great car, but the features that come with the EX package are truly outstanding. In fact, it's easily my favorite car that I've had in years. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Great look with all the bells and whistles for a decent price!

This car is definitely both sporty and luxurious, and I absolutely love it.

Are you having problems with your 2023 Kia K5?
Gregorio Stark 2024-09-22
I have a 2023 Kia K5 GT Line and the city average is 17-18-19, which is quite low. It's not worth it at all!
Horace Marks 2024-03-16
I recently purchased a 2022 Kia K5, but unfortunately, it did not come with a garage door opener or a CD player, which we were initially told it had. While we acknowledge that some of this may be due to our own lack of knowledge, we feel that these details should have been brought to our attention. Admittedly, we have found the car to be quite complicated to operate, which has made driving it a bit of a challenge. However, we remain hopeful that with time and practice, we will become more comfortable with it. Thank you for your understanding.
