Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Kia Motor Forte

This car was sold to me without disclosing that the manufacture failed to have a engine security system on the car to at least "deter" auto theft. If the key to the car was programmed/chipped like other cars, it would provide at least some level of protection. I've already stopped car thieves from trying to steal it once by pure luck, but I'm like the thousands out there constantly worried that someone's going to try to take it in lieu of the social media challenges. The horrible settlement that out government gave us was to upgrade the software which provides no help with deterring thieves from breaking in and trying to steal it. The reimbursement provided in the settlement is complete joke, and doesn't offer to properly repair or reimburse for after-market security systems. This is evident from the fact that insurance companies still won't insure this car, even after the software upgrade. The insurance companies are telling me that they still won't insure the car even with upgrade because it doesn't stop thieves from breaking into the car and causing comprehensive damage to the car. I can only find a few insurance companies that will insure the car, and the premium cost is twice as much as I pay to insure a car that's worth twice as much money! if our government or NHTSA was truly concerned, they would have demanded that the manufacture make significant change to the ignition/engine starter, I. E. , changing out the ignition switch system with a programmed/chipped key, and/or engine starter kill without said key. If the manufacture and the government made this change a required "recall" to properly fix and advertised it nationwide, then thieves would at least be less inclined to cause damage, and insurance companies would feel more comfortable about taking the risk. This ongoing expense/problem for me has me seriously considering if anyone in my family should every purchase another kia/Hyundai product again. Stand behind your product with some integrity.

E. > water based and oil based fluids such as a engine oil ) is well within the individuals understanding of the molecular construction and deconstruction of elements . 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 been driving my car for several weeks with poor performance, rough starts, and bad fuel economy. On my way to work one morning, my check engine light appeared. Later that day I took it advanced auto parts and got a �p200a� code. I took my car to a nearby shop and had a diagnostic done which cost me $103. 19. I purchased the vcm motor assembly which also cost me $244. 25. Once I removed the old part I realized that the plastic piece that connects into the manifold was completely disintegrated.

Dealer could not replicate. - engine acceleration is poor from standing, dangerous in city traffic. Dealer could not replicate. - engine will shut off while turning left in los angeles city traffic, car is completely without power. This is very dangerous in city traffic. Dealer could not replicate problem. Instead, dealership told me that engine is leaking oil. Bs. There are no oil drips in my parking space. Another mechanic told me that my car is not leaking oil. Dealership told me that they 'will work with me'. Meaning they will let me pay for each visit but they will not honor their drivetrain warranty. Engine burns oil. Engine burns oil. A new car should not burn oil. - engine will sound like a sewing machine when driving from standing and turning the wheel. Dealer could not replicate problem. (this was likely due to engine burning oil, oil low; after refilling oil, engine will not make this sound. ) - I now must check my oil level at all times before driving and refill oil to full mark on oil dip stick. Hate kia. - car cabin is too hot to drive in. Metal ecu at bottom of steering column inside cabin is 180 degrees fahrenheit. Dealer could not replicate the problem. Hate kia.

The car manufacturer refuses to honor the advertised warranty for vehicle knafk4a63e5232310. The vehicle was in motion driving straight on the interstate 5 southbound. It experienced a kind of road hazard like a small rock somewhere between exits 210 and 205. The impact was minimal and made only a small noise against the underside of the vehicle so there was no reason to think the vehicle suffered damage or needed to stop. However, the check engine light came on after 3 or 4 miles. The vehicle was brought to a stop immediately on the side of the interstate before exit 205. The vehicle's oil pan was punctured, and the engine oil was drained out. The engine had suffered critical damage. The vehicle was then towed to a kia dealership in glendale, CA. Repair costs were quoted to be $7,332. 63. Kia deemed the repairs non-warrantable due to the damage being external. Kia offered goodwill assistance at a reduced price of $4532. 00. However, I feel that this should be completely covered under the warranty. The complaint is for the amount of the repair described above ($4532. 00). The complaint is against the structural integrity of the oil pan and the engine which became critically damaged from such a minimal impact. The complaint is also against the warning system of the car which failed to notify the engine oil leaking at such a high rate in a timely manner before the vehicle suffered critical damage and put the passengers at risk.

On four separate occasions, June 5-July 17, 2015 our kia Forte 5 door hatchback failed to start. Tow company personnel attempted to jump start the car without success. Car was taken to two separate dealerships and the failure could not be replicated. Repairs will not be made until the condition can be replicated. After sitting for a prolonged period (1-3 days) the car will start. We replaced the battery on June 23rd at the suggestion of a tow truck driver who refused to tow us. He related that in hot weather kia cars often will not start if the battery is weak. With a new top of the line battery, on July 17th the car refused to start. When the 105 degree temperature dropped to 90 degrees, the car started. We are stuck with a new car that will not start reliably in hot weather. Dealers cannot fix it. Our warranty is "valueless". Kia corporate has assigned a case number and we are seeking repair or replacement. Until this happens, we are frightened to trust our kia in our remote sierra nevada mountain location where being stranded can be life threatening. We have made a $21,000. 00 mistake and lemon law court is our only recourse.

We were driving our 2012 kia Forte ex (sedan) which we had purchased brand new in December 2011 to the store to get bread and were on our way home (only about 2 minutes into the drive) when we saw smoke coming from the front of the car. We pulled over within about 50 feet of seeing it, put it in park- which by the time we did so, we lost all power and couldn't even get the key out of the ignition. We got out and my boyfriend tried to pop the hood but it was already so hot he couldn't do it. . . I ran about 20 feet away for safety reasons, so I am not sure where it started, but within about 30 seconds, the flames came out of the sides and front of the hood. My boyfriend thinks it was about where the fuse box is, because that is where he noticed the paint start to bubble off. He is a mechanic and has never seen anything like it. The entire front of the car, through the dash is disintegrated. My airbags melted and poured out of the dash and roof, upholstery melted off the seats, and door panels bubbled up. All the speakers blew and melted. It happened so quickly, if I had kids in the back or couldn't have pulled over in time, there could have been very serious injuries or deaths. I am very thankful it didn't happen on my way to work, as I drive in traffic on a highway with no shoulder. I had no electronic modifications. It was entirely stock, with the exception of window tint, exhaust, a lowering kit, and aftermarket tires and wheels--all which were installed by professionals. The car had 8900 miles on it and all maintenance work had been done. Even 3 oil changes- even though kia claims the car can go 7k without one. My insurance company is going to treat it as a total loss and do an investigation on it. Kia has a case going but have not yet sent an engineer out.
