general problems of the 2017 Kia Motor Forte

The contact owns a 2017 kia Forte. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the catalytic converter was clogged. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the catalytic converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under a class-action lawsuit extended warranty coverage. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

The speedometer does not work. The car will not accelerate. I always have belt problems.

I've had it looked at by a kia dealership and they said I let it run out of oil and burned up my engine. My asc warranty won't cover it. I had no idea. I've got proof from valvoline where I always get my oil changes and proves I did it regularly. I had no oil leak signs on the pavement. Your recall #sc210 which I just found out about talks about exactly what happened to me. I really don't think it was my fault and it should be covered. I had no indication that something was wrong till this happened. I've had no problems since I bought the car in November 2021till now.

I got this car in January, it's only October and my speed doesn't accelerate. When I step on the gas pedal there is a huge kick and my rpm goes from under one to 4 or 5 to get to 20mph. I noticed that I could change the drive to d1 and d2 but when driving and going over 30mph my car is in d6. I have yet to find a solution. No warning lights have come on yet but I don't want it to get to that point before having the car for a year.

I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake. My vehicle lunged forward with my foot still on the brake so I pulled the emergency brake up and my vehicle stopped, thankfully I did nothing hit anyone or anything. When the light turned green I drove forward and my engine light turned on; after no more than 30 seconds, the light turned off. All has been fine since, however I looked up this problem and apparently kia has a serious problem with cars lunging forward and causing major accidents. I honestly am terrified for this to happen to me.

I tooken my 2017 kia Forte in to the dealership countless occasions for the same issue and still with no avail. As I'm driving the car all of a sudden the car starts shaking the engine light goes on then the car either shuts off on its own then got to wait it out for it to start. If I go to turn on the ac the car also shuts off. I've almost gotten hit due to the car un reliability.

About a week or two ago while going up a hill I noticed the car trying to stall out. It has begun to do more frequently now while driving and while in idle and/or park also. You cannot hear the car �knock� but it's as if you can feel it trying too. One instance I was in a turning lane and the car literarily tried to cut off in the middle of traffic. The rpm's dropped and car just felt real shaky and jumpy. Total episodes approximately in about 2 weeeks I would say are close to maybe 10? the engine light came in at first instance when I was going up a hill and has never gone off. But the proble has not been corrected but seems to have gotten worse.

This vehicle has had several incidence of being "locked" at one speed. When applying pressure to the gas the car will speed up until reaching 30-35mph and will no longer accelerate. The gas pedal could be touching the floor and the car will not accelerate past 35mph. The vehicle had been serviced at our local kia dealer in the early fall of 2019. It was said to be repaired now less than 6 months later the problem has occurred again. This has happened on city streets and highways sometimes almost causing accidents.

Car will randomly hesitate and shake with powerloss maybe once every few days. This will happen when coming to a stop then accelerating again after driving for 30 minutes or so . Cel will either not display or blink a few times but go away (and not show up on the history) making it impossible to diagnose. Took it to 2 kia dealers, both said that they've seen this on a lot kia Fortes. , they have made the recommended repairs but still have the issue.

I was driving down the expressway when my car lost power. I tried giving it gas and it just would sputter, still barely moving. I had people almost hitting me. The car has less than 30,000 miles and I just had bought it 60 something days ago. The car will just loose power no matter how fast you going. The car is unsafe to drive.
