Forte

  • 16,575 miles
I have had my brand new Kia Forte for 8 months starting in April. I currently have 16,581 miles on the car. About a month ago my eco light came on by itself and there was no way to turn it off so I had to take it to Kia where they unscrewed my battery and it went off. Now I am having problems with my car not wanting to turn on and after taking a trip to auto zone we found out that it was the 'crank shaft'. I am having problems with a brand new car that I have only had for eight months. I was driving when my engine light came on so I became really concerned and that's what forced me to have to go to auto zone to see why my engine light was on.
