Consumer Description
THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES WHICH I HAVE FOUND OTHER 2014 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I DO. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS TAKE TURNS GOING OUT. I AM TO THE POINT ABOUT EVERY 5 WEEKS I AM REPLACING A BURNED OUT LIGHT. ONE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT THEN I FIX THAT. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WILL GET PULLED OVER FOR A TAILLIGHT.BEING OUT. ONE OFFICER TOLD ME HE WAS GIVING ME A WARNING BECAUSE HIS WIFE HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH HER LIGHTS GOING OUT. I WILL REPLACE THE TAILLIGHT THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER THE OTHER HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT THEN THE OTHER TAILLIGHT WILL GO OUT. I FIND MYSELF ALWAYS REPLACING A LIGHT. I'VE PULLED UP TO MANY FORTE OWNERS TO LET THEM KNOW A TAILLIGHT WAS OUT AND THEY ALL SAY "AGAIN" THE LIGHTS ARE A MAJOR PROBLEM. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WON'T GO ALL THE WAY UP. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED THEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE THE WINDOW WILL GO ALMOST ALL THE WAY UP BUT IT STILL LEAVES A LITTLE GAP IN THE WINDOW FOR AIR TO COME INSIDE WHICH WILL CAUSE YOUR CAR TO ROCK BACK AND FOURTH FROM THE AIR FLOW IN AND OUT. ITS DANGEROUS AS IT HAS EVEN PUSHED ME INTO THE OTHER LANE FROM THE AIR PRESSURE COMING THROUGH THE OPENING IN THE WINDOW.
