My wife's 2014 Kia Forte brakes went on me without warning, they went all the way to the floor and I immediately knew it was a hydraulic problem. the vehicle has just over 2500 actual miles on it. It was towed to a dealership were they determined it was a hydraulic issue and there was a recall on brake lines corrosion prematurely, I saw no leaks but the service manager told us that there was a manufacturer recall for that issue. Our vehicle has been at that dealership for 30 days already awaiting replacement parts with no progress, it will be months April 14, 2023. I need to know if the recall is valid.

The vehicle lost braking ability while being operated on the roadway. The brake pedal went to the floor, and the brake warning light came on. The operator was able to push hard on the brake pedal enough to eventually bring the vehicle to a safe stop. Upon inspection it was determined that the brake system had lost all brake fluid due to corrosion of one of the rear brake lines at the site of the retainer clip. There is also advanced corrosion on the other rear brake line at the site of the retainer clips. KIA already initiated a voluntary recall for this issue on KIA Forte-??s 2010-2013, but the problem obviously exists for later model KIA Forte vehicles. This vehicle was only operated in NY during winter months for two years, in 2018 and 2019, so this level of corrosion on the brake lines should not have occurred. This brake failure could have easily caused a serious accident and injury.

My car shakes when you hit the brakes//doesnt drive smooth at all. Somehow the oil leaks through the rings in the engine and I cannot keep oil in it. I refill the whole oil container at least once a month now and put oil stabilizer in it. If I get an oil change, it is empty the next week.

While I was driving on the highway, I had to break due to another driver's dangerous driving. I had to push the pedal all the way down before the vehicle would break as if the breaks weren't even there. This vehicle was purchased from galeana Chrysler Jeep Kia dealership located at (180 greystone blvd. Columbia, SC 29210). The reason for this urgent notification is to receive assistance regarding the Kia fire recall article that did not include the Forte model within the years specified. Upon vehicle inspection from jt's Kia dealership (the ABS system has a leakage on the fire wall side. Found the hecu/ brake module has started to fail and is leaking.)

Recall number 17V773 has been performed on my vehicle but the problems still persist.

- Upland, CA, USA

Car had began burning through oil rapidly but upon inspection at oil changes, no leak or cause could be detected. The oil light indicator never came on either. The car would begin ticking while driving, and noticeably drove differently but problem could not be determined. No check engine light ever came on. On a clear day while driving about 45 mph on highway, vehicle gave a loud and forceful jerk and popping sound, and promptly lost power and speed, and the brakes quit working. I was fortunate to pull off and use ebrake to stop car once coasted to a safer spot. I could have been rear ended. The car had once again burned through all oil with no indication from the panel, and I was told the engine had blown. Apparently this is a very common problem with these vehicles, this make and model, with no recall being done; however, there is a class action lawsuit because of same issue with this engine in other Kia models.

My brake lights stay on at all times while car is turned

- San Jacinto, CA, USA

When car is in motion on a downward slope like on a bridge or where a road is broken, on applying brake it seems like the pedal is touching the ground making grinding noise and car skids and doesn't stop. I have installed new rotors and brake pads on all four sides. When turn on the ignition, car doesn't start at all, doesn't even make clicking sound. When touch the battery compartment positive charge system then car starts with key ignition on. This happens when car is driven throughout the day assuming battery is fully charged. No light ate on when try to start the engine.

The problems with the brakes happen when the car is in motion and on both sides of the vehicle. The rear caliper guide pins were frozen by corrosion, preventing the cylinder to extend and engage the brake pads on the rotor. This resulted in the lose of any rear braking action. When the anti-lock braking would engage due to lost road contact, (ie. Icy or bumpy/rough roads) there was no braking action at all. During normal driving, the rear brakes being frozen, the car relies solely on the front calipers to stop the car. No accidents happened during this time. I decided to replace the rear pads and noticed when I removed the wheel I found the rear rotor was rusted and pitted due to no contact with the pads. When I removed the caliper assembly the pins were frozen in place and could not be be freed. This required that the whole assembly needed to be replaced. The car was four years old with about 85,000 miles when I replaced the rotors, pads and caliper assemblies. The condition was probably happening for about 9 months before I decided to replace the pads.

While traveling at approx. 30 mph and approaching an intersection with a red traffic signal, I applied the brakes and they did not slow the vehicle at all. I stood on the brakes and they remained firm and did not go down. I repeated this 4 different times and nothing happened. I put the transmission into park and the car continued moving. I was going through the red light and fortunately the on coming traffic as able to avoid me. After crossing the intersection I ran it into a grassy gravel area where it finally stopped.

Took my Kia Forte 2014 in for an inspection, and instead received an ECU upgrade due to some Kia campaign SC150. After the upgrade, my vehicle began to have issues. The very same day after leaving dealership, my car began to stall and blow a lot of white smoke from exhaust. I was pulled over by a stranger who informed me of that the white smoke exhausting blinded his view. Kia has been disregarding this safety concern.

When at highway speeds I pressed the brake pedal and the car violently shook. The dealership decided to resurface my brand new rotors, only 700 miles on the car, rather than replace. I am scared to drive the car now.
