1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2020

The car has been making a fluttering noise for a couple of weeks. I took it to my mechanic last week when the car dragged after stopping, and it seemed that it might stall out. My mechanic told me the engine needs to be replaced, and could go at any time.

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2020

Engine failing. Cylinder #3 is making noise. No noise when switched off. Internal part has begun to fail; dealer recommends that replace engine. No kia warranty coverage because we are second owners.

3 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2019

I woke up one day and went to head over to my buddies house. It was a fifteen minute drive and when I got there I told him my car started sounding funny on the way over. The oil was good and everything else so we took it for a drive down the street so he could listen to it. We got to the light a half mile down the house and the engine made a scratching noise and I started to lose power I also felt my steering wheel lose power steering and then I was at the front of the row in the turn lane. My car crawled through the intersection but I made it to the side of the street and my parents towed it home on their trailer. We took it to an auto shop and the mechanic said the engine failed due to cheap stock bearings around the cam. The bearings gave out and the metal shredded inside and was sent through the engine. Since it's pre owned I can't get a new engine and this specific engine in this make and model hasn't been recalled yet.

4 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2019

Car needs oil every 1,000 miles or so with no leaks. Engine eats oil and is always several quarts low. Daughter was driving car and it stopped excellerating. Catalytic converter just had to be replaced at 82,000 miles. Engine noise with vibrations. My daugher is afraid to drive the car. Kia says warranty expired 2,000 miles ago and won't fix car. Car is extremely unsafe!.

5 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2014

On 2 occasions the car has stalled while making a left turn. The first time it was in April 2014. 2nd time it happened was around July 29th 2014. I first report it to the dealership back in March when I took the car in for a oil change. They would not put it down on the paper work to look at it since they could not replicate the problem. Then reported it to a different dealership as well as kia. The new dealership did put it down on paperwork. But since they are not able to replicate the problem,they would not look into it further. Also have reported a engine noise to the first dealership. They first told me it was a standard noise. So we started getting videos of the noise. They then said they would replace the engine. The same day that we picked the car back up from the engine being replaced we heard a noise coming from the car. Some how the right drive axle got broke. They said they did not work around that area. So then that means that they committed fraud by falsifying docs when they said they replaced the engine. 2 days after finally getting the car back the engine noise came back. Now I got told that they will not look at the car until the check engine light comes on or the car comes in on a tow truck. Now the biggest concern is the car just stalling while driving?what happens now if we get into a accident. This really needs to be looked at. Kia needs to be held responsible for this. It is not normal for a car with less than 14,000 miles on it to just up and stall. I am tired of hearing everything is standard. Kia is fraud they do not want to honor their warranty that they sell.

6 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2013

I have a 2014 kia Forte since September 2013 acquired several days the unit is started having a vibration in the engine. These vibrations are felt throughout the car and when in low or stopped. I took him to the service center where you buy and service technicians always tell me that no faults everything is working well, the vibration that I describe is normal in these cars, this due to the technology of motor bracket. As of today I'm not happy and I understand that the drive is failing. I'm really disappointed with the explanation given me the service center. A new car zero miles per more technology should not have to have much vibration in the engine. Further details of the unit that are wrong are the strange sounds of the valves and the sound engine braking.
