2018 Kia Forte

When driving the car will stall. I was in a parking lot moving forward at 3mph, hit the brakes and the car stalled. After work the other night, while exiting one freeway ti enter another driving about 45mph, the car just stall and shut off. I had to put it in neutral, turn the ignition to the off position(which turns the lights off), and restart the vehicle. This is extremly dangerous.

The contact owns a 2018 Kia Forte. The contact stated while driving at 10 MPH, the vehicle was approaching a train track when the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue to drive to her residence. The contact had the vehicle towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that due to low oil consumption, the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

On 12/12/2021 my car stalled while driving. I started it up got to my destination, when leaving just a few minutes later it stalled again. On 12/13/2021 I was almost rear-ended when my car stalled while turning a corner on my way to work. On 12/14/2021 my car stalled two more times while driving. I have not driven it since. I had two different mechanics come and look at the car, both told me that the engine has failed. One mechanic found the engine recall on line. I contacted the dealership 3 times that week (twice via live chat and one direct phone call) each time directed to leave my information and someone would get back to me. I was finally able to speak to someone on 12/20. I explained what happened and was told that my VIN doesn't have a recall because my car was made in Mexico. I contacted a second dealership and was told the same thing.

I live in Chicago it was approximately 35 degrees and raining out today, so I had my defrost on. I was in the line at a fast-food restaurant and I heard a crack noise. I looked at my windshield and there was a straight, horizontal line crack approximately 8-10 inches long. When I got out to look to see if something had hit my window, I saw that there were no impact chips and it is a crack that just begins at the very edge of the windshield going into the center. I took pictures but I have not done anything to stop the crack from spreading because I do not want to void my warranty or anything just in case. Kia already has this same issue happening with the 2020 Kia Tulleride.

While was driving the car Kia Forte spin out control or someone used an remote and became an hot engine but due to car getting repossession Kia saying can’t do nothing about it , my safety was put as risk due to car spinning out control and yes the car did deployed its airbags only driver side , no inspection due to Kia saying they can’t do nothing . It was 7 warnings lamps afterwards the incident , Made an report on June 3, 2021 14164508 with Kia consumers

With less than 40,000 miles on the car/tires, one of the front tires blew on the highway. Discovered it blew out on the side wall and metal was showing, took the car in and had the tire replaced. We did not keep that tire because we didn't realize it was not an isolated incident. About 2 weeks later the same thing happened to the other front tire. Took the car in to have the other 3 replaced and was informed that one of the rear tires was in the same condition and we are lucky it didn't blow out on us. The car has only been inspected by the tire shop and we kept the tires this time for inspection of anyone that can help file some sort of recall or claim. There is still a good amount of tread on the tires. This could very well have caused serious injury or death to my family!

I TOOK A RD TRIP AND DOWNLOADED ROOT JUST TO TRACK MY ADVENTURES AND MAYBE SIDE WITH QUOTE OFFERED. I'VE BEEN TRACKING MILES SINCE I GOT THE CAR! LISTENING TO ITS FUNCTIONS. THERE'S SOMETHING OFF FOR SURE. THE HR RIDE THERE WITH SPEED PERFORMANCE WAS OK. THE NIGHT RD BACK ON HWY WAS THE ULTIMATE MIND SHIFTER FOR AN INDICATION OF THE GEARS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING AND PICKING UP SPEED. AS I ROAD ABOUT 70MPH I LEFT LANED TO PASS VEHICLES SLOWING ON RIGHT. AS I ACCELERATED TO PICK UP SPEED IT TOPPED OFF AT 80! I CONTINUED TO PRESS GAS PETAL SLOWLY DOWN TILL REACHED FLOOR THEN I SLOWED AND GOT BACK IN THE RT LANE! CRUISED IT DOWN TO ABOUT 50 AND PUT IT IN STANDARD! 5TH GEAR AND SPED UP TILL GEAR CHANGE AND PUT IN 6TH GEAR FOR RIDE. IT DID NOT PUCK UP SPEED AS IT SHOULD'VE AND IT STILL STALLED AT 80!!!!!! THERE'S MORE TO THIS ON SMALL NOTES AND I KNOW SOMETHING IS OFF! I'M NO CRASH DUMMY! THE 2018 KIA DOESN'T SMOOTHLY ACCELERATE EITHER FROM A STOPPED POINT. ACTS AS IF THERE'S HORSE POWER WITH EASING ON THE GAS FROM A STOPPED POINT. ALSO WITH A/C ON DRIVING IT MAKES A WIRED NOISE AFTER AWHILE. THAT HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I TURNED IT OFF. WHEN MANUALLY DRIVING IT'S LIKE RIDING IN STANDARD WITHOUT UPSHIFTING WITH THE STICK. FEELS LIKE I HAVE TO LET OFF GAS FOR IT TO PROPERLY CHANGE GEARS THEN ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE THE CAR DOES WHAT IT WANT AND I HAVE TO WORK WITH IT! THAT'S SCARY! I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE OVER A MONTH! I TOLD DEALERSHIP WHERE BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID IF NO LIGHTS CAME ON THERE'S PRETTY MUCH NOTHING. CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 70,0000 MILES ON IT!!! I'D HATE NOT TO PREVENT SOMETHING SEEING I EXPLAINED THIS!
