Just got back from BERWYN KIA dealership. 2018 Optima I bought new. I had AC resistor replaced - still under warranty (20,000 mi) in July 2019 and the replacement shorted out. Noticed water leaking on passenger side floor (clogged A/C reservoir evap hose...I'm assuming).
Service Manager stated that’s probably not what caused the component to short out.
I find that hard to believe since this is the SECOND resistor shorting out. I asked them to clear the A/C hose just for good measure & they wanted to charge me 100+ bucks and treat it like an A/C issue. After complaining to Consumer Affairs, the Mgr. agreed to do it...from what I was told. We will see...
