It is absolutely ridiculous that every 2011-2015 Kia Forte engine has been recalled, but mine has not. My engine completely blew up a few years ago. It has the exact same problem all these other engines have. I called Kia and asked them to help me replace it bc the issue is exactly the same and they refused. A con-rod warped and then broke and it shot through the bottom of my engine. The rod could have shot back into the inside of the car. God forbid my daughter would be in my car and that happens. I had to replace the engine and the turbo which isn\u2019t cheap at all. Then because of the strain of all of that, it made my transmission go out which has now been replaced. All of these other engines have the exact same problem. It\u2019s the same problem as the 2.0L, but I guess because mine is a 1.6L and it\u2019s a manual transmission, mine hasn\u2019t been recalled yet? The only reason I\u2019m making another report is because my check engine light is on, AGAIN, and the new engine in my car is starting to experience the exact same issues as my last one. Literally every other type of Kia Forte engine has been recalled except for my. I would like a recalled to be issued and a refund of the money I have sunk into this car. I can\u2019t sell it because I owe too much on it, so the only option is to fix it. At this point I have put more than double the amount of money into this car than it\u2019s even worth. Something needs to be done here. I\u2019m really not trying to wait around until it blows up again and I have to replace another engine. I know I\u2019m just one person, but there has to be other complaints like this.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"FORTE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
