2011 Kia Forte Other or unknown Problems

“Kia Forte 2011,accelerated on its own,and cause me to hit the car in front of me,kept accelerated,until I shut the engine off. Went from 30 MPH to 50 MPH,and totaled my car. I was in motion on a city street,when the incident occurred. No warning,no engine light,and it never happened before.”

“My air conditioning clutch pulley assembly has a failing bearing that makes a whining noise. The assembly is separate from the A/C compressor. I'm afraid the bearing will eventually seize and cause the pulley to freeze, which will thus cause my serpentine belt to rupture and potentially cause damage to my car while driving. I think this is a potential safety hazard that Kia should fix as it seems to be common on my make model and year.”

“Problem began 2/14/2011 (purchase) and continues. There has been a problem with these high frequency sensors as noted on a sheet dated 9/22/08 provided by the Kia engineer. These devices are prone to set off the high frequency sensors which gives me a false reading. With this being the case, then why are these high frequency sensors installed in vehicles? My sensors are like the little boy who cries wolf.when they illuminate repeatedly on and off, I just ignore the light and wait until I turn off the car or wait it outwhichever turns off the light first. …”

“Brake line burst near center of car while traveling on highway. Maintained enough brake pressure to come to a safe stop. Investigation revealed excessive rusting of brake lines running from front to rear of vehicle, particularly at contact points with each restraint.”

“On 3/31/2018 at 10:00 am my wife's sunroof on her 2011 Kia Forte exploded while she was driving down the highway. She was not trying to open the sunroof and the sunroof cover was closed. There was not a car directly in front of her, and the weather was 70 degrees and sunny. There was no fluctuation in temperature from the day before. There is no reason why it exploded. She was startled but not injured by the incident.”
