2013 Kia Forte Other or unknown Problems

“My Kia went on fire and I was never notified by Kia, I found out from carfax and set up appointment to have this recall fixed and found out there was 2 recalls. Set up the appt for saturday, while my car was parked and off I ran into the store came out and my car was on fire all of the dashboard all behind it. My car was totaled by insurance. 2 days after my car goes on fire I am suddenly getting red emergency recall notices in the mail. Dealership will not speak with me, the Kia consumer assistance gave me a case number but has done nothing in over 2 weeks. …”

“I bought my car in 2012 brand new with about 2 miles on it. Everything was going smooth until I would get down to a average speed around 10 miles an hour. I was getting on a ramp, and when I was getting over I had to gun it because a car was coming and a huge jolt hit so hard it felt like a car just rear ended me. I was so scared thinking a car hit me where I let off the gas and the car that was coming swerved to miss me. So I take it to Kia and they say nothing is wrong with the transmission or shifting gears. So I went on with my life. So all of a sudden it does it again. …”

“Car makes loud noise while driving down fwy sounds like engine is going to drop out from underneath it - shakes and vibrates and acts like it's going to stop any moment. Brakes will not disengage, thereby making the gas pedal unable to engage. Car loses power while driving when brake doesn't disengage because the gas pedal doesn't engage. Brakes smell of burning rubber. Car rides like all 4 tires are flat - car shakes and vibrates as well. This has happened numerous times - more than 10 - took to dealer - they told me there was nothing wrong with the car. …”

“When I’m driving down the road it’s starts losing power and the icon of car with dizzy lines starts flashing but if the car gains any speed the icon goes out .And like today when I tried to push brake to stop and pull over it started shaking so bad I felt like the whole front in was going to fall out ,The last time I had smoke come out when I tried to give it a little gas to move.”
