general problems of the 2018 Kia Motor Forte

While driving the car with the flow of busy traffic, the engine failed and the car stopped. It eventually turn back on (side of the road) but now drives with hesitation, a strange noise, and with the engine light on. This cycle continued until we arrived at the repair shop. And after much research, it seems that this experience is common for other kia engines. Why was mine not included? someone could have been badly injured!.

I was approached by a friend who had a situation that required quick action if any hopes of a remedy were to prevail , and the end result for myself would be owning a 2018 kia Forte . The said vehicle had a total of 41,117 miles calculated and displayed on the information display attached to the instrument cluster . The vehicle was well maintained by the kia dealership as promised up to the warranty period of 12000 miles as promised by kia , at no extra charge to the customer. Afterwards the 1st original owner would continue the schedules service as outlined in the owners manual . This maintenance service would always be performed at the owners usual trusted repair shop and if not within the area at the time service was needed , a reputable repair shop would be the choice . With a well maintained vehicle in my possession I soon experienced an engine failure due to metal shavings causing poor oil circulation and paired with several other factors causing sludge build up which rendered my vehicle garbage . The dealership claimed it was due to negligence and improper maintenance . The failure happened while my children were in the vehicle during a thunderstorm with flash flooding . "satisfaction guarantee" is a lie !.

Ive had my car since 38 miles. This is my second year owning it. It has been well kept and it started having problems about a month ago that has gotten worse. It shakes really bad at 30mph and stays in 6th gear. It also has major problems picking up speed and shifting in general. Sometimes it just stalls and dont go. When switching lanes on the interstate it slows way down and doesn't shift. It doesn't matter my speed. From 10-50mph and up it skips gears and stalls.

Well at present my car only has about 400 miles on it I only picked it up on 4/4/2018 & it's starting to sound like the 2016 Ford fiesta I traded in. . When stopped at a light the idle gets rough and if this was the 1960's I would say it had a bad spark plug or carburetor issues; however, this is 2018 so not sure but it's the only thing I can relate the idle issue with. . I spoke with the salesperson at the dealership that sold me the car but he said he knows nothing about inner workings of cars so I made an appointment with the service department for 4/25/2018 since I cannot get there at the times they want me to; and until then I can only monitor it. . This issue started after I had the car approximately one week; nothing like florida car dealers selecting a car for me off their lot that has issues. .

This is a follow-up to my original complaint # 11088519 on 4/10/18. . When I brought the vehicle to the dealer on 4/25/18, I was told it was a bad spark plug huh on a new car; what would be next. . In any event the dealer had to order the spark plug another huh on that too. . Spark plug is in & I have an appointment tomorrow 5/2/18 to replace & repair & none too soon because the car sounds & runs 'terrible'. . Sitting at a light it sounds worse than the 2016 fiesta I traded in terrible rough idle & really bad when accelerating from a light which could be dangerous. . This kia Forte at present has 465 miles on the odometer. .
