general problems of the 2010 Kia Motor Forte

There is an ongoing issue with the map sensor that triggers a check engine light as well as the rpms to fluctuate. This can happen when disconnecting the battery and/or replacing the map sensor. I replaced the map sensor and still get this ongoing issue. This is a safety concern because due to the rpms constantly fluctuating, the car jolts forward when driving which could possibly result to the car hitting another vehicle in front of it. But the only way to get it to stop / get the check engine light to turn off, is to drive it for x amount of miles until it fixes itself. This problem has been inspected by kia themselves and they did not give any information to me about the issue. This issue seems to happen any time I get the vehicle serviced.

The contact owns a 2010 kia Forte. The contact stated while driving 10 mph and approaching a stop sign, the vehicle loss motive power. The check engine and battery warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was restarted without further failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage 111,407.

Hi, I have a standing issue with my 2010 kia Forte sx 2. 4l the engine developed this knock that has totally incapacitated the car so it cannot be driven. Every mechanic ive been to says that the engine is done and needs to be replaced. Ive checked for recalls and I found hundreds of consumers with the same exact problem where these 2. 4l engines developed a crippling knock. Has this establishment recieved any complaints and if so what is being done to relieve the consumer who has no where to turn and is stuck with a car they cant use and is being ignored by kia coorporation and every one else. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

My brake lights don't work. Engine light keeps coming on. Airbag control unit doesn't work/asic is damaged. Transmission cooler hose keeps leaking fluid the vehicle stopped on the freeway causing a crash.

Hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module is failing, causing traction control and abs to turn off. Dealership diagnosis is that moisture probably got in it causing the issue and the unit needs to be replaced. Kia has recalls in place for this same unit on their 2006-2010 sedona and 2007-2009 sorento vehicles (recall number 20v088000, recall date 02/14/2020), but not for the 2010 kia Forte. Sounds like the same issue. Luckily we are getting it replaced before an accident occurred, but others may not be as fortunate. New replacement part is currently not available, so having to replace it with a used one that could possibly develop the same issue.

My seat belt driver side will not click into the buckle which makes it hard not be pulled over and very unsafe. As well as, my lights on the inside of the car do not turn off they are always illuminated once starting the car. My brake lights go out every so often, as well as a few other electrical problems. Also my brakes sometimes won't come up off the floor or will stay in the upright position even while being pressed. This is incredibly unsafe.

My car interior lights have been going out intermittently for over a year now, and my stereo bluetooth system is totally out as well. My signal lights intermittently go out. Signaling is a big issue because if people don't know I am coming over it could cause an accident. Also, as a result of my hands free capabilities being gone I am forced to wait for important communications at times because my commute is long.

I am writing this letter to provide you notice of unresolved defects in my 2010 kia Forte ex, kia case no. K3395476. Please see attached file titled, "harvey nhsta summary of events" for complete nature of the complaint as I ran out of characters.

The contact owns a 2010 kia Forte. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel would spew back out of the filler neck without warning. The contact also mentioned that there was an internal electrical malfunction which caused a loss of power from the battery. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the canister purge valve and the battery. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for further inspection and diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

I was driving through a reduced speed zone of 35 mph and went to set my cruise control, about 3-5 seconds later I felt the car go dead. I lost power steering and all electrical systems. My indicator lights were on and flickering and I had no control over the vehicle other than waining off to the side of the road to get out of the way of traffic. Once my car came to a stop I proceeded to turn off the ignition. I tried starting it and the engine turned a couple of times but went dead so I turned it off. I tried one more time to start the ignition and was only barely able to get the engine to start and maintain. I went off on my way and later on on my way home I stopped to get food and when I got back in my car I tried starting it and it struggled to start. I have only had my car for 1. 5 years and only in the past couple months experienced problems with my cruise control not activating and setting to my current speed.

I was driving home from work and a man flagged me down at a red light to let me know that none of my break lights were working. I have also noticed the cruise control as well as traction control buttons not working properly. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the fuses. If I can not find a fix to this problem it may result in myself getting rear ended.

The car while driving, through rain or recently rained on roads going through large unavoidable puddles, causes water to splash up on the serpentine drive belt causing it to slip, 15-20mph when it seems to happen. This causes an electrical issue where the battery light comes on and the power steering goes out making the car difficult to steer and could be quite dangerous at higher speeds should it happen. I have never had this issue with another car. A removable plate should be fixed to the bottom side under the engine compartment to prevent this.
