I purchased my 2012 Kia Forte Koup new from the dealership. Took it to the dealership for scheduled oil changes and maintenance services. Never had a problem with this car until the engine started knocking. It has 116,000 miles and of course it is no longer under warranty. Contacted KIA corporate offices because I was told that the engine that the Kia Optima has is the same engine that this Kia Forte has. Kia extended the warranty on the Kia Optima but they do not include the Kia Forte.
This was the first KIA we purchased and were so happy, we purchased the 2018 KIA Stinger. I will never purchase a KIA again. Whenever possible, we will rid ourselves of the KIA Stinger. Horrible customer service and the most unreliable car I have ever owned.
KIA needs to recall the engines of the 2012 Kia Forte.
