KIA OPTIMA STARTING PROBLEM

I was not able find solution why my 2012 Kia Optima ex gdi is not working. If anyone faced similar problem and fixed it can you please let me know in the comments.
Not but not least, I came to know lot of people have same issues with Kia. Kia should consider this for a recall.

    im having the same problem as well, but I’m being told it’s coming from my fuse box since there is also a whining noise. There’s no signs of warning lights. Usually I would just tap the fuse box and my car would just crank. Now it’s not turning over, it’s alerting me about tpms & also a “turn on fuse box” alert popped up on the screen. Also, my key will not let me unlock or lock my car doors. Im out of ideas and really depending on this car right now. Can someone help ?

    Can confirm, this is a bad battery issue. Had this happen to me last night. Battery was so bad it couldnt even be jumped, would not hold any charge under load and it was a 1 year old battery too. New battery started it right up with no problems.

    Same issue with my 2013 kia optima replaced it with new battery. The reason it does that because the battery does not have enough juice.

    It's probably your battery because of the airbag light , when you have a few attempts to start the car unsuccessfully , you'll have the airbag light when it's on accessory

    Same here i have a 2013 optima sx 2.0 doing the same thing! Back story is my car shut down while diving good thing on a small slow street. Pushed to safety and now engine doesnt start. I do have power in windows ac alarm and radio, checked the battery and charged it. If the alternator was bad it would drain battery completely. Maybe the starter gave out? My brake pedal is also pressed down has tons of pressure. Anyone have the same problem? What fixed your issue? PLEASE HELP.

    While i was driving on the highway i sped up to about 95mph to pass a slow car and it just died while lights and AC stayed on. it’s not battery for me… hooked battery up to charger and has plenty of power. I am trying to start it with the push to start and it doesn’t even crank over. Checked flywheel teeth and they look fine. I don’t think my starter is turning it over like it should. What caused this car to die while in the middle of driving and why is it happening to everyone that owns this car? I have the 2012 SX Turbo edition
