problem #2

May 292020

Forte S 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,200 miles

Again, the ignition coils had to be replaced. And in such a short amount of time. I am hoping this will not be a continual repair throughout the life of the car.

problem #1

Nov 182019

Forte S 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,000 miles

I did not feel any difference in how the car operated, although, had the problem of first turn of the key with no starts, and usually second turn would start. Not sure if this was related as it still does it after the repair was made.
