I purchased this brand new in 2024 and about 5 months ago it started to just loose power. It almost caused me to be hit several times and the car just wonât go it looses all power and you can press the gas and it wonât go but eventually will start going again. Itâs very dangerous luckily I havenât had a wreck with me and my Infant in the car and Iâve been able to move out of the way of others.
The car shuts down on my wife multiple times now more than 10 to 15 times and most of the time itâs on the freeway few times sheâs had my teenage son with her and I have three videos that I have sent to Kia but theyâre refusing to move with buying the car back, saying because the dealership cannot duplicate the problem And the dealership drives the car 10 to 20 miles. Iâve stated to the dealership and to Kia factory that this car has to be driven every day like my wife who drives it so

My 2024 KIA Forte, which was purchased new from a KIA dealership, has continuously failed to function properly. It had a water pump replaced after failing to be operated for more than a week and has since continued to fail - this time for not starting at all, not accelerating properly, and losing all power while driving (switching off compl

Headlights shut off while driving at night. The right turn signal was on and was in a right hand turn when the car hit a small dip. There was the sound that you hear when you turn on the key when the car hit the dip and the healights went off. After pulling off the road and turning on the hazard lights, tried turning the headlights off then back on several times. The parking lights seem to come on then went off. Noticed that the information screen reset and was at the setup screen. Turne
