KIA FORTE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Oct 26, 2013.KIA FORTE 2014, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . i was in a three vehicle accident as the third car. i hit the car in front of me and in turn caused that vehicle to hit the vehicle in front of him. i had the brakes pressed down all the way to the floor and still couldn't stop in time to prevent impact, there were not even any skid marks on the pavement. the impact was so strong that my back seats folded down and the things i had in my trunk flew forward and hit the back of the driver seat. i had glass bottles of drinks in the trunk and they were all busted in the floorboard from being thrown through the back seat that folded down. fire and rescue had to open my door to let me out of the vehicle because i tried to get out and couldn't pry the door open. to me that is a hard impact, i was injured and still seeking medical attention. my concern is with a frontal impact of such force, none of my airbags deployed! my accident has already happened and i am hurt but i don't want that to happen to anyone else. luckily i was wearing my safety belt because my airbags certainly didn't protect me. i made a complaint with kia and there representative told me..."ma'am with your vehicle, you have "smart airbags" they only deploy in a catastrophic event." how can the car tell what is a catastrophic event...my 8 year old could have been in that back seat that folded or even my newborn niece that i care for, that could have been not only catastrophic but fatal!!! what can be done about this? please help, i don't want someone else to suffer. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Kia Forte 2014 problem was reported in GAINESVILLE, GA.

KIA FORTE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Jan 10, 2014.KIA FORTE 2014, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . our kia forte will not defog the windows on the inside until it is above 0 weather or the sun is shining brightly. i have to open the windows on the sides to back out or pull out into traffic so i can see and when it is 30 below it isn't fun. the window is clear when i pull it out of the garage in the morning but as soon as i go down the road it starts to fog up and freeze on the inside. i can't see out of my passenger side mirror either. the windshield will clear off if i have it on full defrost with the ac button pressed except for a big area halfway up to the top on the drivers side only. that doesn't clear either. i can drive many miles and nothing changes till the temp outside goes up. they tell me that is the way it is that they can't fix it and they said it worked for them so that is it. if you have it on full defrost at 30 below, you freeze your toes and fingers. some thing should be done before someone gets in an accident. i love the car otherwise. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 3000 miles.

KIA FORTE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Feb 24, 2014.KIA FORTE 2014, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with WHEELS . while driving the vehicle i inadvertently hit a pothole. it was the coldest night of the year, -20 degrees. hitting the pothole knocked the bead of my tire off the rim. i went into the trunk to get the spare tire out, and to my surprise. there was no spare tire!!!! there was a "tire mobility kit". i attempted to use this, but it was to absolutely no avail. i called the roadside assistance number, after walking about 1/2 mile to get cell phone service (still -20 outside), i found out that the estimated time for roadside assistance was at least 90 minutes. i decided to instead call my mom, who was 45 minutes away, so she could bring her car, and i could use her spare tire. i was able to change the tire in 10 minutes and get back on the road with my mom's spare. i called the dealership the next morning, and they told me that my car does not come standard with a spare tire. i would have to purchase a spare tire if i wanted one!!! this is completely unacceptable and dangerous! what if my car had run out of gas in the -20 weather while waiting? if my mom could not have come, i would have been waiting at least 90 minutes! instead of the 10 it takes to put a spare tire on. that is completely unacceptable and is a safety issue. i have notified kia, and i want a spare tire with my car at no cost. this is a safety issue. other than that, i absolutely love the car... *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38000 miles.

KIA FORTE 2014 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2014.KIA FORTE 2014, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with ENGINE . on 2 occasions the car has stalled while making a left turn.the first time it was in april 2014.2nd time it happened was around july 29th 2014.i first report it to the dealership back in march when i took the car in for a oil change.they would not put it down on the paper work to look at it since they could not replicate the problem.then reported it to a different dealership as well as kia.the new dealership did put it down on paperwork.but since they are not able to replicate the problem,they would not look into it further.also have reported a engine noise to the first dealership.they first told me it was a standard noise.so we started getting videos of the noise.they then said they would replace the engine.the same day that we picked the car back up from the engine being replaced we heard a noise coming from the car.some how the right drive axle got broke.they said they did not work around that area.so then that means that they committed fraud by falsifying docs when they said they replaced the engine.2 days after finally getting the car back the engine noise came back.now i got told that they will not look at the car until the check engine light comes on or the car comes in on a tow truck.now the biggest concern is the car just stalling while driving?what happens now if we get into a accident.this really needs to be looked at.kia needs to be held responsible for this.it is not normal for a car with less than 14,000 miles on it to just up and stall.i am tired of hearing everything is standard.kia is fraud they do not want to honor their warranty that they sell. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13900 miles.

KIA FORTE 2014 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2014.KIA FORTE 2014, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with ENGINE . i discovered along with other kia forte/k3 owners that when it rains, whether it is moderate or heavy, massive water leaks inside engine compartment. this also happens when the car is parked and not move an inch and still i found water all over the engine(after rainy day), battery terminal, fuse case, air filter case, and majority of left side of the engine room as well. dealer told not to worry, but i've had many cars in the past that never experienced this flaw. i'm afraid this can lead to massive engine/rust possibly fire from massive water droplets and high temperature of engine and all kinds of connectors that is exposed as a result of this. i plead nhtsa to investigate this critical and dangerous flaw posed by kia and their irresponsible solution of ignoring passenger safety. as of now, i stopped driving in the rain, and this is extremely inconvenient as a working commuter. i would first test the part where window wipers meet and pour some water there, and then i would use pressure wash to just spray the hood and you'll find what i mean. moderate rain should not create this much water leaks all over the engine compartment. thank you. best to contact me via email if needed..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1500 miles.
