Consumer Description
My engine which is the 2.0 liter has the same tapping noise from the engine that the other Kia Fortes had and I don’t get a recall. The engine has gone to crap and I’m still paying on it from a dealership. How does it not have a recall like the others when it’s doing the same thing. My dealership said it’s a common problem with these years and engines and now my engine is on its last leg. It’s going to leave me stranded or get me hurt by blowing up unless someone does something about these tapping/knocking engines!!! It has did it for 3 years that I’ve owned it but now it’s really bad to the point it’s serious metal on metal. Also this vehicle has been well maintained and I have all my service records and receipts to frequent oil changes etc etc
