Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND MY CAR BOGGED DOWN, IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER THEN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. GOT SOME HELP TO PUSH IT TO THE SHOULDER, AND GOT A WRECKER TO TOW IT HOME. FOUND ENGINE HAD SIZED UP. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH KIA'S AND THIS ENGINE. CALLED LOCAL KIA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FORTE SERIES WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME ENGINE IN OTHER SERIES WITH THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEMS. *TR
