I was on the highway and that was one honda city idsi the very 1st batch, cucuk me (2.0) at the back. Then I rev to 140km/h, and he was out of distance for some time, then I switched to second lane and he overtook me and drove very fast.

Then I rethink again, actually 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 don't really matter. Everybody can rev up to 140km/h-150km/h. We are Forte owner, but we are not the best and everybody can overtake us. Not big deal though hmm.gif

Spent few hours at sc jalan tandang, the problem of alignment & driver seat squick noise is remained unsolved.
For alignment issue, the service guy told me it's normal to lean left a bit for our car.
For the driver seat noise, they requested me to leave my car overnight for checking, WTF!!!
kept on telling me they take time to solve it..

And our forum has become the greatest enemy of kia service center.
most of the guy there keep on blaming our member give them a lot of trouble..

I have made an appointment with Kinrara SC tomorrow to fix my driver seat squick noise. Good luck to me.

The sound has become louder and louder. sigh...

I just did my 1st 1000km service at SC Kinrara today...

Highlighted 2 issues to them:

1) Squeeking sound at driver's seat
2) Rattling sound at passenger side door when going on bumpy road or roads that are not "smooth" (i.e. residential area)

So far finished service, seems like they manage to fix the rattling sound, but the squeeking soudn is still there even though they already tighten the nuts & bolts on the seat...

They ask me to go back again on Monday to have proper look at the seat..

As for the rattling sound, I will monitor a few more days before concluding that it is solve, as I notice it will take few days before it will appear again...

I am planning to send my car over to Kinrara SC too on Monday. They need a full day to check my squeeking.

The Kinrara SC has done with my driver squeeking sound. First time, they said fix, then sent the car to my wife, then wife double check, sitll got sound, then they drove back again to remove the seat (they said no choice) and fixed it.

My wife said there was a WTP50x2 white forte there broke down and was in the SC, whose car is that? really broke down?

Hmmm..i cannot find it in the car manual, but could someone clarify on this matter, when i switch on the headlight, all the instrument buttons should lit up including the power window buttons (switches) right? i noticed that only both front power window buttons (driver & front passenger's side) lit up but not the rear buttons (both). Is it a common for all Fortes? The power window lock/unlock button & door lock/unlock button (at driver's door panel) also didn't lit up. Just wanna clarify whether it is a common or a defect? wink.gif

Guys,

Let me provide a quick updates:

When they fixed my seat squeeking sound, they also found that the back door got sound and opened the trim and put in additional foam. However, when put back that time, the door handler was not in proper position. That's why I couldn't open the door.

As for the seat, they took entire seat up and found that the spring was causing the sound. This guy has explained quite clear and I was also asking about the compressor abt the white forte.

He was saying, that is really rare case that the particular air cond compressor manufacturer has this issue. Not only Forte, but globally. So, i presume this compressor is used by global on most of the auto-mobile.

Something just trigger me, maybe we should find a way to extend the warranty. Just too risky.

They have fixed my door handler, and I have complained to them I can hear wind sound from driver door which I suspect it is caused by them when they opened by door to troubleshoot the seat sound.

So now, they mention the windows rubber is not good, and it is under warranty they will order to get it replaced.

in fact, it is not very obvious. According to the SC fella, he drove my car at 100km/h and can feel that.

So, he suggested to change.
