2013 Kia Forte Engine Problems

“I brought a 2013 in the year of 2014 it only had 2300 miles and at 61000 the motor was blown I call Kia and they said they could not help me because it was 6000 miles so I had to have a motor put in I had the motor put in about in december my car just stop I had it tow to Kia and they said it through a rod. Is there any help out there for me.”

“Hi, I brought my car to a local kia dealer for the open recalls stated above and the dealership Crain Kia has refused to fix it for a unknown reason. The dealer inspected it and told me they needed to stop because of the engine being a used one? it was not clear on exactly why but that is all they told me. I know that the recall is for engine fire and safety so its not clear as to why they would refuse to fix it”

“Engine froze up at 59,000.00 car is under warranty and Kia is refusing to fix car. This is a known issue and Kia has already sued and fined by the government but fotres were not recalled. I am a widow who lives at poverty level and do not have the money to fix this. I have 4 open recalls they are also refusing to fix. I cannot produce maintenance records because when my husband died I was actually homeless. Kia said to bad.”

“The oil engine light came on while the car was at idle. Turn the engine off and it failed to restart. I had the car towed to the nearest dealer and after numerous times of them trying at starting the car, the car started up only to shut off. Then they checked it out again to find that the engine had lock up. Now I am being asked to pay for a new engine or get a new car.”

“I am the original owner of my 2013 Kia Forte ex, the vehicle roughly has 70,000 miles on it. The vehicle has always been properly maintained via oil changes, filters, etc on time with quality name brand fully synthetic oil and filters per the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule which is every 7500 miles. I was driving my vehicle home on a very busy freeway on the east coast. …”
