Loud Engine Noise problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Forte

The contact owns a 2013 kia Forte. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal noise appeared as the engine warning light illuminated. The contact managed to drive the vehicle back to his residence where the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to ferguson kia (1501 n elm place, broken arrow, ok 74012, (918) 258-1800) where it was diagnosed that the rod bearing failed and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The contact mentioned NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine)as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

Forte engine began making loud noises and running very hard. Then the engine light came on. Went to get it fixed and dealer said that the engine was failing and would need to be replaced. It is a 2013 kia Forte with less than 100,000 miles on it! the engine should not be failing! after reading other reviews, it is obvious that this is a problem with this car.

On Tuesday June 26th, 2018 I was on my way home from work on the interstate and all of a sudden without any warning, my oil pressure light came on and the engine completely shut off, I lost all power, steering and brakes but luckily I was able to use my emergency brake. Car wouldn't start back at all. I keep my oil changed every 4,000 miles and haven't ever had an issue. The engine wasn't knocking or made any loud noise when it happened. And the oil was still on the full mark. And from what I have read, the same exact engines have been recalled in different kia/Hyundai models except the Forte/forte koup 2. 4l. So now I am left without my car and having trouble finding an engine I can afford while kia/Hyundai is replacing engines that have had the same thing happen to them but mine they wont replace because my VIN doesn't call for that recall.

This is the 2nd engine replacement I have had to do in a 2013 car. Driving 60mph without warning car stalled and I was forced to coax to the side of rural country road, in the middle of extreme cold weather the 2nd time. The 1st time I was driving the car abfter just getting oil changed and car made a loud noise and car stalled while driving on interstate at 70mph. Car was towed and engine was blown each time. I have contacted kia on both occasions and on both occasions car was sent to dealership and could not figure out why engine blew. Oil levels where found good. This is ridiculous that I have had two replace 2 engines in a 2013 kia which is financed and kia refuses to do anything about it. I have receipts as well as reports done on car each time this occurred. However they are in glovebox of car at garage getting a new engine!.

Car makes loud noise while driving down fwy sounds like engine is going to drop out from underneath it - shakes and vibrates and acts like it's going to stop any moment. Brakes will not disengage, thereby making the gas pedal unable to engage. Car loses power while driving when brake doesn't disengage because the gas pedal doesn't engage. Brakes smell of burning rubber. Car rides like all 4 tires are flat - car shakes and vibrates as well. This has happened numerous times - more than 10 - took to dealer - they told me there was nothing wrong with the car. It is extremely dangerous to drive - I had the brake system line flushed and bled and the shop told me that what was in the brake line was not brake fluid - written right on the invoice. Kia is not standing behind their cars and screwing people - especially women. Service managers would just smirk and laugh when I took it in with the complaints - like I was an idiot.
