Forte ES

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

I have never had such a costly repair on a vehicle that was only 4 years old. I have been diligent in having regular maintenance as recommended. Not only would I never buy a Kia again based on this, but I would not recommend buying a Kia to anyone else. Huge mistake, should have bought a Honda again. My last Honda did not require any costly repairs until it was over 10 years old!

Forte EX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,000 miles

Problem is present in both struts. It is annoying, I have tightened all three bolts at the top of each strut but creaking remains.
