Had this car through one oil change at the dealership. While there was metal shavings throughout the engine and turbo, NO notations during the oil change. The judge who heard the original”Kia lawsuit”, needs evaluated. Kia and Hyundai continue to sell death traps to people, because they were given a slap on the wrist. So through the “Kia lawsuit” those whom were lucky enough to get the recall, can get “engine replacement”. While you get a “used Kia fire hazard” replacement, you also have to pay for the install. Now , they knowingly….continue to sell these cars. They see the metal shavings during oil change, say nothing, until the engine blows completely. My engine and turbo replacement, exceed the value of my car, and I will assume why they fought to have it not include. This car was driven very lightly for about 5 months, suddenly started smoking and pulling engine codes.
Kia forte 2020(base) under recall, Hyundai with the same 1.6 turbo engine as my forte gt, recalled. This puts ppl in financial ruin, while allowing a foreign car maker to continue to screw American consumers.
