| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | THE VEHICLE WILL SPORADICALLY JERK HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS. I HAVE ONLY EVER EXPERIENCED THIS SAME FEELING WHEN A TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 06/24/11 FROM A DEALERS LOT, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED AS A DEMO. THE VEHICLE HARD JERKED WHEN CHANGING GEARS, FOUR SEPARATE TIMES BETWEEN 06/25/11 AND 07/05/11. PER THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.KIA-FORUMS.COM/KIA-FORTE-CERATO-TD-KOUP-DISCUSSION/55002-SX-2-4L-W-AUTO-TRANS-2.HTML I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2013 | ENGINE | KIA FORTE 2013 PURCHASED NEW AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH CAR WHEN DRIVING 55-70 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR SHAKES,TIRES MAKE NOISES LIKE THEY'RE FLAT,TROUBLE WITH STEERING,REALLY ROUGH RIDE,SMOKE CAME FROM ENGINE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN A PAIN CONSIDERING IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE NEW. IT ALSO LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SEE OUT REAR WINDOW. ALL THESE THINGS AND MORE WERE REPORTED TO KIA MOTORS WHO SENT ME TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SCOFFED AT THE REFERRAL,STATED KIA MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEMS AND ALLEGEDLY CHECKED FORTE REPORTING NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND NOTHING IS WRONG. THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY PLUS FEELS UNSAFE. THERE SHOULD BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY WITH KIA SOMEWHERE BUT THERE ISN'T...GUESS THAT'S THE BUSINESS CUSHION. *TR |
