NHTSA Complaint #11102940 — 2013 KIA FORTE

THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THETA II ENGINES IN KIA CARS NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL THE MODELS WITH THAT ENGINE. I HAVE A 2013 FORTE SX WITH ONE OF THOSE DEFECTIVE THETA II 2.4L ENGINES. IT APPEARS THAT ONLY THE OPTIMA, SORENTO AND SPORTAGE MODELS MADE THE LIST. NOT SURE IF IT IS AN OVERSIGHT OR THAT THEY MADE SO FEW FORTES WITH THAT ENGINE. HOWEVER IT IS, THE POINT IS THAT THE ENGINE IS BAD NO MATTER WHAT VEHICLE THEY DEEMED TO PLACE IT IN. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO MAKE THE ENGINE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECALL. ALL THESE CARS HAVE THE THETA II PER WIKIPEDIA: THETA/THETA-II ENGINE - 2.4L (2359CC) (G4KC, G4KE, G4KG, G4KJ,) HYUNDAI SONATA (2006'2010) HYUNDAI SONATA GDI (2011-) HYUNDAI SONATA (2011-) (MIDDLE EAST) HYUNDAI TUCSON (2010-) HYUNDAI SANTA FE (2010-) HYUNDAI STAREX (2007-) KIA OPTIMA (2006'2010) KIA OPTIMA GDI (2011-) KIA RONDO (2007-) KIA CADENZA GDI (2011-) KIA SPORTAGE (2011-) KIA SORENTO (2011-) KIA FORTE (2010-2013) *TR
