Our local kia dealership diagnosed this problem with our car on 3/15/19. 2012 kia Forte sx 2. 4l (106,430 miles, 6430 miles out of warranty) found the engine to be knocking. Found the #2 rod bearing to be severely worn and causing the engine to make noise and stop rotating. Recommend replacing the engine. The 2. 4l theta ii engine was not part of original recall so kia would not replace engine and since it was out of warranty we were responsible for the cost of a replacement engine and labor. We declined, and car as sat stationary for past two years at our home. When we found out this 2. 4l theta ii engine was now included in a recent recall we asked kia to provide alternatives to replacing the engine since the car has sat for two years and I no longer have faith in the reliability of this car as parts of the car are no longer in working condition and/or missing. They refused any alternatives. They wanted us to pay to have the car towed to a local kia dealer to diagnose a problem that was already diagnosed back on 3/15/19. The original class action lawsuit over the 2. 0l and 2. 4l gdi engines provided alternatives to engine replacement and reimbursement for expenses associated with the engine failure (like towing), rebates, etc. Since kia was found at fault and fined by the us government over their delay in recalling these 2. 4l theta ii engines and since that delay was the only reason we didn't fix this car on 3/15/19 we feel we should be compensated for our expenses and loss of transportation because of their faulty engine and their negligence in delaying the recall. Having the engine replaced now is no longer a viable option for us. We offered to purchase a new vehicle with the cost of engine replacement/labor put towards a rebate, kia refused.

We have a 2012 kia Forte that we bought new. Only has 44,000 miles on it. We take care of it and don't drive it into the ground. 2 months ago, engine started making noises, and car started stalling. Check engine light came on and we managed to get it to the shop, where oil and engine were checked. Everything seemed ok, no main reason found as to why. Some more oil was added and were told to drive it to reset everything and the engine light would go off. 2 months, 2 oil changes/tune ups and engine light will not come off. Last week, as we're leaving for my kids birthday party, car keep stalling out when we try to put it into drive. Had it towed to dealer where he says we'll need a new engine. Now we're trying to get kia to pay for the engine, and we still can't get an answer as to what is causing this. On another note, this is the second kia engine we've had to get. Our 2015 kia sorento had to have the engine replaced last summer (when it was only 3 years old). Really wondering why the Forte wasn't included in the engine recall, seems like a lot of people are dealing with this.

Takata recall car started to make noises. Then after getting it checked out I was told the car needed a whole new engine! it is only 6 years old. Bought used from a dealer in 2013. Engine died on the way home still have a loan and can't even drive it!!!! saw multiple peoples complaints online for same problem! when will I have a recall to drive a car that I am still paying for. The car was in motion and going straight on a state road when this accured. Speed limit on state road I was on is 50 when the engine started pinging electrical went off then motor stopped. This caused us to have to push vehicle off to side of road.

Rod bearing failure on a 2012 kia Forte koup 2. 4l engine at approx. 93,300 miles with no prior issues. Engine was properly maintained and never abused. Began rattling while driving normally on the freeway and was subsequently determined to be the #2 piston hitting the head. No prior indication of anything wrong, no unusual engine noise, no "idiot" lights, no misfire, no vibration, nothing, just a sudden pulsing noise that was first thought to be the exhaust sound from a passing harley.

My vehicle is driven only minimally with presently 23540 miles registered on the odometer. Since new, the engine has always experienced pre-ignition and pinging, especially under light load. I suspect a problem with the spark timing exists. The second problem is a piston slapping sound heard during cold engine operation. It is certainly not a normal sound. Both problems were reported soon after vehicle purchase in 2012. The service dealership concluded that the sounds were normal for the engine design. My concern is that either condition can lead to an engine fire.
