problem #1

Jan 022022

Forte SX 2.0L I-4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,561 miles

This all started when my headlight has a leak and was letting condensation build up, and the dealer told me to essentially evaporate it by running the lights which didn't work - and it has now shorted my LED lights on the right side of the car which has caused there to be no tail lights at all on that side. Brake lights and turn signal still work but no regular light (any LED components on the right side). The dealership will be replacing the "Smart Junction" hopefully that will solve it as it causes a danger at night and my still under warranty car has half the lights flickering upon startup and then nothing...

This is my fourth Kia out of 5 and I have been happy with my previous and newer one we have purchased since but the 2017 Forte doesn't seem to be from the same batch.
