2017 Kia Forte

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 84TH ST AND CAME TO THE LIGHT ON 84TH AND PACIFIC AVE AND THE ENGINE WANTED TO DIE OUT AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND THEN TURNED RIGHT ONTO PACIFIC AVE AND WENT TO 80TH AND PACIFIC AVE AND THE CAR DIED OUT TOWED IT TO THE HOUSE AND CHECKED THE OIL AND EVERYTHING AND THERE WAS NO OIL THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON AT ANY POINT OF TIME SO I ADDED OIL AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND NOW IT HAS A ENGINE KNOCK LIKE THE ROD BEARING WENT OUT I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE KIA DEALER IN THE MORNING AND SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 KIA FORTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KIA AUTOSPORT OF PENSACOLA (6637 PENSACOLA BLVD, PENSACOLA, FL 32505). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG MAY HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START OR MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY GOING 70. 2017 KIA STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISE NO OIL LIGHT ON OR ANY WARNINGS AFTER FEW MILES ROD WENT THROUGH SIDE OF BLOCK THEN INTO STARTER DAMAGING IT LEAVING CAR DISABLED. REMOVED ENGINE FROM CAR TO REPLACE OPENED THE ENGINE UP AND FOUND TO BE A RESULT OF A RECALL ISSUE CAR HAS 104000 ON IT. FOUND SUMP FILTER CLOGGED WITH BEARING MATERIAL RESTRICTTING OIL FLOW. THE DEALER OR KIA WONT DO ANYTHING REFUSING TO FIX IT. I NOW HAVE A NEW ENGINE ORDERED AND GETTING IT WENSDAY, THE CAR IS NOT EVEN PAID OFF AND AS A RESULT I CAN NOT MAKE IT TO WORK TO MAKE A LIVING TILL I GET THE ENGINE INSTALLED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 MONTHS.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE SO I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE UP AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED, THANKFULLY I DID NOTHING HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DROVE FORWARD AND MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON; AFTER NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. ALL HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, HOWEVER I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY KIA HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH CARS LUNGING FORWARD AND CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I HONESTLY AM TERRIFIED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME.

2.0 HAS 73K MILES ON IT. ENGINE NOISY WHEN COLD START, LIKE A RATTLE AND KNOCK FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. OIL IS GOOD AND NO CODES. EVEN WHEN WARMED UP, THE ENGINE ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE MULTI PORT ENGINES MADE IN THE 80'S AND 90S WHEN ACCELERATING. KIND OF A 'WA WA WA WA WA' SOUND. TO ME, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS READY TO 'CHECK OUT'. SOMEONE TOLD ME IT COULD BE ROD BEARINGS.

MY CAR ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY FOR NO REASON AND IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IDLE AND DRIVING ON STREETS AND/OR HIGHWAYS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO SEE IF IT STOPPED TO HEAD BACK HOME OR IT DOESN'T STOP AND I HAVE TO GET HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND I WAS ADVISED THAT MY COIL PACK WAS BAD.I ASKED WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT THIS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME 'THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WITH CARS'. I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR FIXED AT A KIA DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK LESS THAN A WEEK LATER EACH TIME. IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND I HAVE TO GO GET IT REPAIRED AGAIN. THIS BEGAN ABOUT A YEAR INTO HAVING THE CAR. EACH TIME I GET THIS REPAIR IT'S ABOUT $600. I ALWAYS GET ALL MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR, IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND THE EXPLANATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP OF 'THIS IS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS' IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU. I TRIED TO TAKE A VIDEO BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW THE SHAKING WELL, I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT THOUGH.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE THAT NEEDED A RESET OR UPDATE. THEY FIXED IT WITH NO CHARGE AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF IT CAME ON AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD ONE OF MY CYLINDERS WAS MISFIRING SO THEY FIXED IT AND I WAS CHARGED. 3-4 MONTHS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN OLD CODE STORED IN THE CAR. THEY CLEARED THE CODE AND TOLD ME IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER. THIS IS FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 2020, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON AUGUST 29TH TO CHECK MY CAR. WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. THE CHECK COMES ON AND GOES OFF. WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF I DON'T EXPERIENCE THE HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION. IT MAY COME ON AND STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN OFF FOR 1 TO 2 DAYS. THIS WILL BE MY 4TH TIME TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

I TOOKEN MY 2017 KIA FORTE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP COUNTLESS OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND STILL WITH NO AVAIL. AS I'M DRIVING THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTS SHAKING THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON THEN THE CAR EITHER SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN THEN GOT TO WAIT IT OUT FOR IT TO START. IF I GO TO TURN ON THE AC THE CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT DUE TO THE CAR UN RELIABILITY.
