  1. Kia Niro
    It's been very cold at night recently and when I start my car in the morning, it gives me the overheating engine warning in red. It says the engine is 130 degrees. But when I turn my engine off and leave it for a few minutes and turn it back on, it is fine and I don't have any warning at all...
  2. Forte/Cerato and Koup (post in sub-section only)
    My 2011 Kia Forte has developed a ticking noise coming from the engine. the car sounds more like a diesel than a petrol. The noise is much more audible when idling - hitting the accelerator reduces it massively. I ran a diagnostic test and got a P0011 code. My initial thought has been to do with...

    Hello All! First time utilizing the forum. I have a 2015 Kia Sorento LX (2.4-L L-4 DOHC 16V), which I purchased used in 2016. I haven't had any significant issues up until now. The last few days, I have noticed some clicking/clunking noises coming from the engine, as well as some slight...

    Our only car shut off while driving on Wednesday. All lights on dash were still on, coasted into a parking lot and hasn’t turned on since. The battery was just changed early October, but we checked it and it’s still good. However, the terminals were loose after this happened, so my dad thinks I...

    Blew my motor. Have the color code for the crankshaft and the rods. But no color code for the bearings they are to worn down to even see a code. And the dealerships are no help as they are saying no color code no part. And it's to worn down to measure.

    Hello fellow DIYers! I have a knocking noise I hear initially when I start up my car that is loud, then goes away. I have been told that it is a timing issue and that the timing sprockets need replacing. Has anyone done this before? In doing this could I get away with just replacing the...

  9. Cerato, Shuma & Spectra (post in sub-section only)
    Hi, I recently had to get some work done on my 2008 Koa Spectra and this mechanic ended up being a rip off. He basically returned my car to me with the head, all the belts, cams, a bucket of nuts, bolts and the cam caps all in the trunk of my car. I plan on trying to sue this guy. But I have...

    I’ve noticed a few issues with my new Kia stonic (8k km, 6 months old). It already had a hill assist sensor miscalibration (already fixed) so I wonder if it has other issues .. 1. With the car off , if I shift the gear into reverse (using the clutch properly of course) it makes a clanking...

    Hey everyone - My son purchased a 2012 Sorento about 60 days ago and the engine just seized. I'm having it taken to Kia today to have it evaluated to see if it qualifies for the recall to have the engine replaced. Anyone have any experience with this process? Anything I should know about? At...

  14. Forte/Cerato and Koup (post in sub-section only)
    I'm looking for a new-to-me car and found this 2016 Forte5 that I like. I'm new to Kia's so I did some research and found the engine issues but only for 2011-2014 Theta II engines. I saw a few posts about the 2015-2016 engines having the same engine failures, but you can find that on any car...
