| Description of the problem | P0705 check engine light came on. Car was occasionally getting stuck in park and had to be stopped / started to get out of park. Very dangerous. Took car to repair shop and they had to replace the neutral switch. There is a recall notice for this exact issue for other kia optimas but not this car's year. I strongly believe my car should have been under a recall notice. I still have the defective part if needed. |
