My Kia was jus fine driving down to my daughters house which is an hour N half where I live. Where all of a sudden engine light came on and a knocking sound came on slight noise. I kept an eye on the noise and vehicle. When we stopped I checked all the liquids and everything was fine. We had to take care of some things then on our way home it was sounding horrible and all of a sudden the check engine light was on, oil light and battery light. So I pulled over and called to have my car towed home. I did not want to risk anything worse, but honestly I think it is the worse for absolutely no reason for when there is no leaks and all fluids are full.
The contact owns a 2010 Kia Forte. The contact stated that while attempting to release the vehicle from being stuck in snow, the cv joint fractured from the front passenger's side axle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the V joint fractured in two locations and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000. The VIN was unavailable.
