The air conditioning system is completely inoperative. The vehicle is currently [at my residence / at the dealership - specify location] and the component is available for inspection upon request.  1 This is a documented issue. Kia issued Technical Service Bulletin #048 (Revision TSB_CLI048_R1, dated November 18, 2022) for 2019–2023 Kia Forte models, which specifically identifies a defective A/C compressor field coil assembly as the cause of air conditioning failure. The TSB provides diagnostic procedures to isolate an open field coil circuit and states that replacement of the complete compressor assembly is not required when only the field coil is defective. The failed A/C system creates a direct safety hazard because it prevents proper defogging and defrosting of the windshield.  2 On [date of incident, if applicable], while driving [on 101 / in traffic], the windshield began to fog heavily. With the A/C inoperative, I was unable to clear the windows quickly. This significantly reduced visibility and made it difficult to see other vehicles and road conditions.  3 Proper A/C function is essential for safe driving in humid or rainy conditions. Without it, the vehicle's defrost system does not work effectively, which can lead to a crash.  4 NO. The dealership (Van Nuys Kia) and Kia America were contacted but did not schedule an inspection. I am seeking resolution before paying for a repair that should be covered under goodwill for a known defect.  5 The A/C began blowing warm air gradually. No warning lamps or messages appeared on the dashboard. There were no prior symptoms before the system became completely inoperative.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"FORTE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
