NHTSA Complaint #10991058 — 2011 KIA FORTE

"A SOUTH KOREAN WHISTLEBLOWER REPORTED CONCERNS LAST YEAR TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA), WHICH WILL PROBE THE TIMELINESS OF THREE RECALLS CARRIED OUT IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHETHER THEY COVERED ENOUGH VEHICLES." MY 2008 KIA OPTIMA (174000 MILES) WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH SIMILAR ISSUES BY A KIA DEALER (THE ENGINE BEARINGS FAILED ACCORDING TO THE TECH., WITH METAL IN THE OIL FILTER) THE SOUND IT MAKES IS ALSO HEARD, THOUGH LESS OBVIOUS WHEN DRY STARTING MY 2011 KIA FORTE. PLEASE LOOK INTO INCLUDING BOTH OF THESE CARS IN THE RECALL. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW., PS: I REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL 3-4000 MILES ON BOTH CARS,.
