Forte EX

  • CVT transmission
  • 18,000 miles

Kia Forte Launch Edition. I’ve had it since April, and I drive an hour everyday to work. I went in a trip and didn’t drive for 2 days. Driving home from the airport, noticed in the highway my car was surging, but wasn’t sure. Eventually it started getting worse as it was jumping up 1000 rpms at a time. I thought maybe I didn’t let it warm up enough and that’s why this is happening. So this morning I let it warm up but still the same issue. I get in traffic and try to go, but my car wouldn’t move.
