Check Engine Light On problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Forte

I received a recall letter stating that my car is part of a recall involving a defect in the engine that could cause an engine compartment fire and increases the risk of injury. I took my car to the dealership to address the recall. The mechanics at the dealership stated that my vehicle would need a new engine and that the engine will fail. Kia manufacturer is refusing to replace the engine even after their mechanics have told me countless times I have brought the car in that it needs a new engine. I have had to bring my car to and from the dealership 3-4 times now in the last 3 weeks after my check engine light keeps turning on and flashing continuously and my car won't accelerate like normal and will not drive past 40 mph. I have to floor the gas pedal just to move the car. Before I received this recall letter and took my car in to get looked at, I had no issues with my car accelerating and have never had a check engine light but now all of a sudden my car doesn't drive. The dealership damaged my car and are denying any wrongdoing. This is extremely dangerous to have my car in this condition I'm not willing to risk my family's safety or my own safety because the dealership won't take responsibility and the manufacturer won't go through with the repairs that need to be done for safety reasons and replace my engine. The manufacturer is not listening to their mechanics that have told me the engine is guaranteed to fail. My vehicle is not drivable and kia will not do anything to fix the problem. I have no reliable transportation and the dealership will not give me a loaner car to drive for the time either.

I received a recall letter for my engine telling me to bring in my vehicle in to have it checked out to be inspected and if necessary, repaired or replaced at no cost. My check engine light came on shortly after receiving this letter which prompted me to bring my vehicle in to van nuys kia. Long story short my service advisor came back eventually, telling me that kia declined my claim for having too many miles and also that I would be charged for bringing in the vehicle, even though the letter explicitly said would not be. My main problem here is that another customer, with the exact same car, 2014 Forte, took his car in with over 200,000 thousand miles and got it replaced with no problem. No mention about mileage or anything but the main reason I was declined was for having 170,000 miles when the cut off was at 150,000 and I have to pay around 7,000 to have it fixed. The recall letter mentions nothing about not being allowed to bring the vehicle in after 150,000 and even if it did, does kia get to pick and choose who they help?.

My car 2014 kia Forte ex 2. 0l gdi engine was under recall. Took car to dealership for recall and dealership said nothing wrong with it. On the way home from there the car went into limp mode and check engine light came on with engine code p1326 which is due to rod bearings. (which is exactly what this recall was for! ) I want this engine replaced just as the recall states!.

At approximately 63,000 miles I began hearing a knock in the engine and noticed hesitancy as the engine shifted gears. About 4 days later the check engine light came on. I took the car to the dealership and was told there was sludge in the engine. The service rep at the dealership indicated that the would contact kia to determine if the engine repair would be covered under the warranty. Yesterday I was told it may be an engine rod. It has been over a week without any resolution. I mentioned that kia had recalled kia optima for similar engine and was rudely advised that the Forte and optima had different engines.

2014 kia Forte experienced an unexplained catastrophic engine fire while driving down the road at a steady 40mph in 40 deg. F. Weather. All suspension components showed no obvious damage, and the owner did not perform any recent service work. No symptoms such as engine lights or sounds were observed until the car began losing power and caught fire about 60 seconds later. The check engine light illuminated after smoke was observed by the driver who was stopping the car.

When driving at any speed, and often times when coming to a stop and then starting to accelerate again, the vehicle loses power and turns off. At this point the check engine light, battery light, oil light and others come on. The vehicle then needs to be put in park, and turned off, and restarts with no issue. The fuel pump has been replaced but has failed to resolve the issue. Fucillo kia is also refusing to honor the warranty and continue working on the vehicle until the issue is identified. A flight recorder box was put in the vehicle to record the issue if it were to happen again on one of the occasions they gave me back the vehicle stating they were unable to duplicate the problem. The issue did occur again with flight recorder box in place but they said it did not send any signal stating there was an issue with the vehicle. The vehicle has been to them 6 times and at this point they will no longer work on the vehicle despite it being well within the 100,000 mile/10 year warranty. The issue started at 15085 miles and now at 19,000 miles the problem persists.
