1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2025

The lane assist malfunction and periodically jerks. Very unsafe I no longer use this feature . To keep control of the vehicle. I never got it inspected. As the lane assist was in use and it would jerk it would alert me of a lane departure . I mention this to include every known problem I have experienced with the vehicle. The problem that brought me here. Is my engine light came on today. Leading up to this. I have had oil leaks since I've owned the car. Im adding oil in between oil changes due to it being low. In the beginning it was a hint of smell of gas in the oil. I was informed to do more frequent oil changes. Over time the smell of gas grew stronger . No indication to a problem then. Now the smell of gas is prominent in the oil. When the dip stick is checked its always needing more oil and smells of gas and has blackness like burning in the oil. Now there's a check engine light on. And everything I looked up says to discontinue driving the car. I am having a mechanic look at it with a code reader.

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2020

I purchased the 2020 kia Forte last April 2020. The trunk latch would not open trunk, reported, serviced it still presented tight leverage function during stable park position. The computer scrambled the 1st or 2nd week of owning it during my early morning highway travel the computer scrambled more than once. I contacted kia- thier response was not helpful to the new car malfunction. It happened more than once. The lane departure did not work at diferent periods in time; within the year I reported to kia. The windshield cracked during first frost. Kia claimed rock chip. I had just serviced cabin filter area, kia relentlessly assumed rock chip, I believe defected glass. The first frost it cracked 2nd frost within 2week time or less split crack across windshield. The gas and milage were not stablly operating was out of sync during highway travels. I now for the last week noticed a noise in my car engine when in park turning it off. I am unhappy with my purchase and the kia dealership I purchased it from. I have pictures of reported dash computer malfunctions, and an unwilling dealership to assist with my vehicle. I am concerned with my safety, my passengers safety, and safety in my future drive. I put date of April 20, 2020 because it was roughly when malfunctions began to occure. The trunk latch immediately 4/10/2020 or at purchase date upon arriving home.
