Car was making weird noises and jumpy acceleration, took it in and they are replacing the transmission, it's been two weeks and the transmission is still not in at the dealer for replacement. I was told it's on backorder and nobody knows when I will be able to replace it. My car is now barley accelerating unless I floor it. Called kia and the dealer and nobody seems to care

Car was making a grinding noise and had to take it into the dealership to get it checked. This was around 3000 miles. Took it in confirmed the grinding noise but did not note down what it was on receipt. A month later dealership took car back and gave me a rental and had specialist look at the transmission said nothing wrong with it but still has some lost of power from time to time and grinding noises..

I was driving my car on a major highway and it stopped accelerating when I exited the highway. I had it towed to my dealership and was informed the next day that it needed a new transmission. I had the vehicle for 2.5 months and 2811 miles.

2019 forte with 4000 miles and less than 4 months old. Had to be townes from my job as the transmission is gone. I brought it to my dealership one month earlier and was told nothing was wrong, and car died less than a month later. Was also told 'things happen', however my coworker with a 2019 sorrento just found out her transmission is gone. Hmmm...

The car seemed to be losing power, called for roadside assistance, and the kia dealership where the car was towed to said the transmission needs replaced. The car has 3000 miles on it & we have only had it 2.5 months. The dealer service person said this is the 3rd 2019 kia forte they've had to replace the transmission in! We were driving on an interstate highway.

Drove it a total of 2150 miles and transmission blew. Been having issues with rental under warranty agreement. Dealership I took it to would not give me a service loaner or put me into a rental car under kia. Had to come out of pocket for a rental car. Spoke to many people at kia. Finally got a hold of someone who isn't giving me a run around. But kia isn't reimburseing dealerships rental car fees. So it's hard to get a service loaner.
