Forte

  • 7,800 miles
With less than 8K miles on our Forte we were driving down the highway at 70 mph when the oil light went on. We moved to the right lane and within seconds all of the warning lights were on and the car would not accelerate at all. We coasted off the highway to find oil spilling from the car. When we pulled the oil stick it was bone dry and smoking. We were towed to our dealership and told this is the 3rd or 4th engine they have seen with this issue and they are replacing our entire engine. This is the second time our brand new Forte has died on the highway at 70 mph and it has less than 8,000 miles on it!
