Forte ES 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

Bought this car 1 year ago, used. Now I know why the dealer sold it. Head and tail light bulbs have been replaced numerous times. Then the headlights started going out when using the turn signal. Next came the dash lights flickering just when driving down the road. Car was parked overnight and not cranked and the interior lights randomly came on. This is my college daughter's car. It also has condensation in the tail lights. We took it to KIA East in Denham Springs, LA.

They were useless. A car 2 years old should not be having these problems. In my family we have owned 5 Kias. Never again. They have gone back to their old ways of being a bad car to own and their service dept. can never seem to find any problems. We replaced the battery and the alternator checks out as good. We have since taken the car to a real mechanic and he is waiting on the part to replace. It's the blinker/light control arm. He is hoping this will fix the problem. I have little hope of this being it. We are seriously thinking of trading the car in for a Toyota.
