While driving my vehicle - My 2016 Kia Forte LX all of sudden had my dashboard light up with check engine light oil etc. before the engine turned off My vehicle gave me no warning signs up until the engine shut off The oil change and service is up-to-date After I had my vehicle towed to a garage-€" it was determined that my car barely had any oil left in it with my engine being ruined as a result of the defect. I-€™ve contacted Kia every single day since this occurred but I-€™ve not gotten any assistance whatsoever Meanwhile I have no vehicle and I-€™ve had to pay for a rental car daily while I wait for a response to rectify this travesty

I was sold a 2016 Kia Forte with a bad transmission and the dealership cancelled my warranty the year that I bought the car I was not aware that they cancelled it until I found out my transmission was bad and went to the dealership to try to have them fix it and they told me the warranty was canceled. I spoke to a mechanic and they told me that a lot of people are having the same issue with their 2016 Kia Forte's. I bought this car in order to get my son to his specialists he has spina bifida he needs to see a neurologist, orthopedics, urologist, etc over an hour away now my transmission is completely gone and I don't know what to do because I can't afford the repair. Please recall this car. I know a lot of people who have transmission issues with their Kia's my mother for example back in 2010 she purchased the Kia rio it was brand new at the time and a year later the transmission went bad on it every Kia transmission seems to be a hunk of crap I shouldn't have to deal with these repairs

Car cuts off while driving all warning lights will cut on the car slows down then comes to a stop. There is no warning when car is about to shut off. Does not lose power but wont let me accelerate. This happens while driving on main roads and streets, freeway. The vehicle starts back up immediately. According to Kia dealerships there is nothing registering that is wrong with the vehicle when placed on there diagnostic machine.

From day one that I got my car I noticed that there is a hesitation when trying to accelerate, you can push the gas pedal and nothing happens until you advance the pedal further and then it wants to take off like you pushed it to the floor. It will loose power during driving if under 45 miles per hour. When in traffic, it is very dangerous because trying to creep with the car it will not do anything when you softly push the pedal, and will try and take off when you advance it. Almost rear ended the care in front of me because of this. This is a very problematic situation as well as dangerous. Standing still or in motion this continues to happen city and highway
