I bought it brand new and it feels like I\u2019m going to die in it, every speed bump or pot hole I go over feels and sounds like I\u2019m hitting a wall, I\u2019ve replaced the ball joints and am thinking about replacing the control arms because I\u2019m worried they are going to break. I completely understand that living in San Fernando valley there are worse road conditions than usual but I\u2019ve never had a car fall apart like this from driving out here. What\u2019s worse is even after having to have parts replaced with OEM parts IMMEDIATELY the replacement parts are beginning to wear out, I can\u2019t go over speed bumps that are higher than a few inches without scraping the bottom of the car because the car is riding low, I suspect the coils and struts are also already going out also, just the most terribly engineered vehicle, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s due to something that should be recalled but it absolutely feels like it is to me and I know many other people are suffering through the same issues with their fortes.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"FORTE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
