So I made a post a few days ago about my issues with my engine misfiring after being "repaired" twice. Today I took it back again and the dealer explained that cylinder #2 had lower compression than the others. They've given me a rental while they work with Kia HQ on what steps to take in the meantime, but I'm pretty disappointed. I've had the car for 4 months, was really liking it, and now I can't even drive it. I am at least VERY thankful that my car was a certified pre-owned, because the whole thing looks like it will be covered by the warranty.

Would anyone like to share experiences or advice for me?

    Sedan General Discussion
    Hey Guys, I was reading the thread Average Canadian had about using a different steering wheel for cruise and got to thinking I wish my 2017 Forte LX had cruise. I found a kit on ebay, but am not sure about the existing wiring on my car. I can't get a straight answer from the seller in if...

    Sedan General Discussion
    Haven't been on here for a while and just wanted to see how your sedan is holding up. I'm still pleased as punch with my Forte, 143K and still running strong! I did replace the struts but that's it besides the usual maintenance and consumables. Inside and out still looks almost new after 10...
