Description of the problem	my 2013 kia optima's brake and gas pedal will vibrate/grind while driving in wet conditions. It started the day i bought it. While i was signing papers, it started to rain. During the drive home (immediately) i noticed vibrations through the pedal. I asked about it and they stated it was normal. Since it did it immediately, now i see similar complaints and no longer think i am crazy. I have had this vehicle since october 2013 and the issue persists also my backup camera sometimes does not engage. A few times the radio system gets stuck on stupid (wont turn on), but this only happens when the back up camera has issues. And this week 7/2015 my jukebox stopped working properly. Luckily, i found the reset switch near the volume control and it works again :) ma 10/8 updated 3/22/2016*js
