As the vehicle accelerates, a loud ticking noise becomes evident. it only happens when the vehicle is accelerating and in drive, it does not make a noise when given gas in park. after multiple complaints of the same issue with 2014 forte gdi engines and the fact that the 2014 fortes were not included in the class action lawsuit, i decided to file this complaint for fear that my engine will soon seize like the many that i've read online. my car only has 61,000 miles on it and is just out of warranty.
While driving my car on the highway at 60 miles per hour, my car shut off and all the light on the dash board went out and the car would not start. i try to restart my car and it would not start again. as i got it off the road, i try to restart the car with no luck and white smoke coming from the engine compartment. there was no warning light that came on while driving the car. the smoke smelled like electrical in nature.
Car consuming oil within short timeframe. no leaks and have to add a quart every few days. car is now completely undriveable, car stopped accelerating about 2 months ago and no codes are flashing and no check engine light. car hesitates to accelerate and is very noisy. replaced spark plugs and coil pack and problem persists, this car is now unsafe to drive because it will not accelerate and consumes unhealthy amounts of oil.
Car needs oil every 1,000 miles or so with no leaks. engine eats oil and is always several quarts low. daughter was driving car and it stopped excellerating. catalytic converter just had to be replaced at 82,000 miles. engine noise with vibrations. my daugher is afraid to drive the car. kia says warranty expired 2,000 miles ago and won't fix car. car is extremely unsafe!
It started with a ticking noise coming from my engine like it needed an oil change but it had just had one. i took it to a kia dealership to have it looked at and was told it was the engine. they said that the rod bearings were wearing down and resulting in metal contamination in the engine. they said i needed my engine replaced immediately or risk it locking up while driving. after research i found other models from the same year and the same type of engine have been recalled do to the same issue. i have attached the invoice for the replacement engine.
