Forte

  • Automatic transmission
  • 17,000 miles

Bought car with 4000 miles on it. After 1 month had to have it towed to nearby dealership (we were on vacation) The number 1 coil pack went out. A few months later as I was driving to my Dad's the right rear passenger tire had blown. Since there is no spare tire given with this car I had to keep pulling on the side of highway every couple min. to add air using kit included. The lever to open trunk from inside stopped working. Also the lever for gas cap just works occasionally. Then again this past week I was driving home when car started shaking horribly. I checked air pressure and looked at each tire. All OK. I call KIA and they sent tow truck to take to dealer who in turn tells me there is a huge chunk out of my right front passenger tire. Not covered by warranty and will cost me $136. I have only owned this car for 1 year and it has 17000 miles on it now. This is friggin ridiculous!!!
