My Kia Forte that I bought hoping it would last all the kids appears to be tits up before even one is done with it. I cannot figure out the problem. The engine rode really rough with the it having a hard time accelerating or shifting, but no codes were thrown. A couple you tube videos later an oil change seemed appropriate, so we went ahead with it. After the oil change it was still rough but I figured driving it around for a bit would help with any issues. They got worse and I coasted into my street unable to restart after it killed just before. The smell after it died was remaniscent of tranny problems I had in college, but no way to be sure and that shouldn't affect the car starting in the first place. Pretty frustrating.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Just checked. The 10/100k converts to 5/60k upon transfer from first owner.Last edited by Copelius; 04-23-2022, 02:41 PM.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

The good news is now you can get one of those $60,000 EVs and save the planet. I would get one of those with bidirectional charging...

Didn't really look. Mechanic says officially seized, and that Kia may have some kind of recall or extended warranty on it but they say they don't. It looks like I'm screwed on this one. It would cost more to replace the engine than the car.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

Did you look at the oil they drained out? It's like reading the tea leaves (i.e., look for metal shavings). Running rough could mean you have thrown a bearing or something. That wouldn't trip a code, usually.

I put a deposit down on an Ioniq 5. Should have it in 3-6 months according to the dealer. Super ugly car, but relatively cheap and has an 800V system. I think the Taycan is the only other one that does. With a 350 kW charging station, you can charge pretty quickly. I mostly plan on using it as a short range commuter car and plan to plug in at the office, but it is nice to have the option to take it on trips.

My wife has a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). For the most part she can run errands around town on a charge (about 40 mile range) but it is nice to not have to worry about stopping to charge on long trips. We got the $7500 fed tax credit plus Texas gave us a check for $2500 for buying it. I installed a 50 amp charger in our garage and it charges it super quick."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
