I have a 2010 Kia Forte and the past few months the motor develped a tapping sound upon start up and last until the motor warms up no matter what time of the day you start the car. The car has been back to the Kia dealership twice now for a total of 3 weeks. They replaced the belt tensioner (1 week) and an intake svvt assembly, this last time (took 2 weeks). This last time the "Master mechanic" didn't know what the problem was so he notified the Kia headquarters for advice and followed thier "protocol" and installed the intake assembly? But the darn tapping sound is still there and they are clueless and of course the shop manager has this I don't care attitute because I can't do anything about it..... His attitude is like deal with it. He said he would have the mechanic check into it and call me but it has been 2 weeks now so I figure they are blowing me off now. Not very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
So anybody have a Kia with a tapping problem out there?
Thanks
