ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS SENT INFORMATION ON AN EMISSIONS RECALL ON MY CAR BUT DIDN'T TAKE MY CAR IN UNTIL I SAW THAT THE EMISSIONS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD AROUND 07/01/19. I CALLED KIA MANUFACTURER, I BELIEVE ON 07/05/19, CASE # 13251901 AND INFORMED THAT REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE EMISSIONS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THAT THERE WAS RECALL ON MY CAR AND ASKED HOW TO GET CAR REPAIRED. THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED TO TAKE IT TO A KIA DEALER AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE RECALL AND REPAIR. I CALLED KIA AND MADE AN APPT. FOR 07/18/19 SPOKE WITH DJ. KIA STATED THAT AN EMISSIONS UPDATE IN THE CAR COMPUTER WAS DONE, NO PAPERWORK WAS GIVEN TO ME. THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE GOING TO WORK, I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS SMOKING- A BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE AND THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO KIA AND 1ST SPOKE WITH DJ. THE SMOKE WAS LIGHTER BY THIS TIME BUT COULD BE SEEN. THEN, I SPOKE WITH KEVIN WHO STATED THAT THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SMOKING ANY LONGER. HE GOT ONE OF THE CAR TECHNICIANS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME TO SEE IF IT WILL START BACK SMOKING, IT DID NOT, THE EMISSIONS IGHT WAS NOT SHOWING SO KEVIN STATED TO BRING IT BACK IF THE EMISSIONS LIGHT COMES BACK ON. ON 07/27/19, A STRONG SMELL OF ENGINE FUMES CAME THROUGH THE VENTS INSIDE THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO KIA AND SPOKE WITH ROB AND LEFT MY CAR THERE, HE STATED THAT IT WAS A SMALL LEAK AND HE BELIEVED IT WAS THE GAS CAP SEAL AND HE RAN DIAGNOSTIC 3 TIMES BUT DID NOT HAVE CAP BUT WILL ORDER IT. TWO WEEKS LATER, I CALLED ABOUT CAP, IT WAS NEVER ORDERED AND SPOKE WITH KEVIN AGAIN AND MADE ANOTHER APPT. TO BRING CAR IN AND GAS CAP WAS REPLACED BUT LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART TO DO ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS AND PART IS NOT IN 2 WEEKS LATER. MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A FEW DAYS AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD TURNED ON. WHEN I USED MY OBD TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM, IT SAID THE DRIVER SIDE RESISTANT WAS TOO HIGH. I WENT IN TO GET THE CAR CHECKED AT A KIA DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO CALL AND SEE IF WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE PARTS, IF NOT IT'LL BE OVER $600 PLUS $165 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR A PART OF A CAR I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, AND ESPECIALLY TOO EARLY FOR A CAR THAT IS SAID TO BE A NEW MODEL. OUR OTHER CARS FROM OTHER MAKES THAT WERE PURCHASED IN 2010 AND 2012 DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AS MUCH PROBLEMS AS I DID WITH MY 2015 KIA FORTE IN THE 3 YEARS I'VE HAD IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY JERK WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR STREETS, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY THING, WHERE IT WOULD LAG/HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING. SPEED DOES NOT MATTER. WHEN DRIVING OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WOULD JERK, BUT ONCE THE DEALERSHIP DROVE THE CAR THEY SAID NOTHING HAPPENED AND DIDN'T TRY TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. I INSTEAD WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IF I INFORMED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE THIRD VISIT. OVER THE YEARS I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET A LEAK FIXED MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE, MY PAINT WAS COMING OFF AND WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS USED( STILL WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE) HAD TO CHANGED THE BREAKS, CHANGE THE TIRES, CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT AND BACKLIGHTS, CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND HAVE NOTICED THE LACK OF ACCELERATION MY CAR HAS COMPARED TO OTHER CARS. I'M TO RETURN MONDAY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF WARRANTY COVERS THE AIRBAG LIGHTS, BUT NOT FEELING THAT IT WILL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. WHEN THE PLUNGER ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS MOVED IT WILL GO OUT AND ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL BLINK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICHLE IS IN MOTION OR STILL. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2014 KIA FORTES AND 2015 KIA SUVS FOR FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES. THE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME, SO SHOULDN'T THE RECALL COVER MY 2015 FORTE AS WELL?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
HELLO. MY NAME IS [XXX] . I DRIVE A 2015 KIA FORTE5. IT'S THE SX MODEL WITH RIGHT AROUND 91000 MILES RIGHT NOW; AND AS OF RECENTLY IT HAS FALLEN ILL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER I NOTICED A SLIGHT KNOCKING SOUND AS WELL AS SOME WEIRD MISFIRES I WAS FEELING. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY TOLD ME AND I QUOTE "INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD&POSSIBLY PISTONS FROM WHAT THE TECHNICIAN GATHERS SO FAR. A TEAR DOWN TO VISUALLY INSPECT IS THE NEXT STEP. FOR THE DIAGNOSIS THOUGH THE COST IS $134.98". BASED ON THE INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THEM I CONTACTED THE WARRANTY COMPANY, EXPECTING THEM TO COVER THE COSTS BUT FOR SOME REASON WAS TURNED AWAY. I AM NOW COMING AWARE THAT THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO MANY RECALLS FOR THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AS MINE, HOWEVER I LEARNED THIS INFORMATION THOUGH A THIRD PARTY TECHNICIAN. NOT ONCE DID THE DEALERSHIP MENTION IT. I LOOKED FURTHER AND FOUND SEVERAL CASES ON MANY ONLINE KIA FORUMS OF PEOPLE CLAIMING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SAME ENGINE. I AM JUST LOOKING TO HAVE SOME HELP GETTING THIS SITUATION RESOLVED AS I'VE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THAT I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THIS YOUNG. NOT TO MENTION THAT MY CAR STILL FALLS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. BELOW I HAVE SENT COPIES OF ALL THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION I RECEIVED. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
