Consumer Description
I BOUGHT MY 2012 KIA FORTE BRAND NEW. WELL..I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE TICKING NOISE LIKE ITS ABOUT TO BLOW UP AND I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY MILEAGE IS 96,000. MY DIM HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING AS WELL. AND ITS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. KIA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND GO AHEAD AND RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AS THE ONE THATS BEEN RECALL BUT THEY SAY MINE ISN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL.
