Kia,hyundai theta 2.4 engine failure, under 100k miles. i have a 2012 kia forte hatch sx with the 2.4 engine. i purchased it from sunset kia of auburn valley wa with 66,000 miles not quite 3 years ago. in that time i've put about 30k miles on the car. i've had the oil changed regularly, and it has never been low. last week, on august 11, 2019, while driving to work the engine seized on the highway. i lost power steering and brake assist. i was able to pull off the road without causing an accident, but only because of the time of day. had it happened during heavier traffic a significant accident could have occurred. from online research it appears that this is a common problem for this car and others that that use the same theta ii engine. this car/engine should be recalled.
The steering wheel started to make a clunk when you turned it now the eps light is flashing and the power no longer works this car has 67 thousand miles on it i
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 kia forte. while driving at an unknown speed, the steering was loose and an abnormal clicking noise was heard. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to kia auto sport (6637 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505, (850) 457-7772), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 40,701.
The steering wheel clicks really bad. my steering wheel components are no longer working. the airbag light has also come on with these issues.
When had my accident in on going traffic my air bags did not deploy,my brakes system went out, also my horn doesn't work, and my cv axle messes up and can't find another cv axle.
