finally!!
the rattling sound is coming to town ==
this afternoon..my forte dashboard passenger side, some where near the air vent..got very loud rattling sound come out when driving on uneven road..i can confirm the source is "inside" of the dashboard...tried to press it but sound still exist..haiz... and now the sound is "following" me..very annoying... any solution?

check your sunglass compartment, mine the sound come from there after, went to service center several time they check the passenger door, side dashboard etc they say kawtim but still got sound, decide to live with it. 1 bright day i decide to take the sunglass while the sound is ther and puff the sound is gone when the compartment was opened. try several time after that and confirm it was the source. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

i'm new here, being driving forte for 1 year & months already, no mod done on the 1.6sx 6spd.. just change the rims to polish one (due to jatuh lubang several time)...

Hi Forterian,

I know this is wrong segment to post this message but just to share some new product currently available in my company especially for Kia Forte owner.

Would you interested to change your current fabric seat cover to leather? If yes, here're the Good News since we're OEM seat manufacturer for Kia and we would like to give this special offer to Forte car owner.

Here are some info on what we offer:

Package come with leather seat cover (you can choose either sporty bucket or original style) plus door trim (change the small piece fabric to leather). Can visit to our website http://www.cna.com.my or fb just search for mfg c.n.a

The cost for all this will be around RM 2,000 to RM 2,500 and further discount will be given to those who change the seat at our factory located at Gurun, Kedah.

Interested please contact Mr. Anuar h/p 013-4154609 or email anuar@cna.com.my

better send to claim la if you can't stand the 'defect'.....to me if the fog can go away i am fine. Unless it soak the reflector then only go to claim since i think need buka bumper to change the headlamp.

Not serious (usually dry up)

wilsonha,
Go for forte.. ready stock.. elantra need to wait for 6 months, and abit pricier (low spec) than forte but with less gadgets.. altho the look is nice.. wink.gif

anyway, some comments/updates/questions after almost 2 weeks of ownership of the forte:
1) Alignment abit lari to the left, can SC settle this? Closest sc from me is at  Taman Teknologi Kajang (as mentioned by the SA)
2) Radio reception sometimes not clear (just a few secs only then ok again)
3) Foggy headlamp after raining..make matters worse, its raining almost daily recently.. so sometimes got water droplets inside instead of "fog".. but after self dried after leaving under the hot sun.

the rest is ok.. FC still ard 9-12L/100km.. not even 1st service yet..
*
send to SC bro, they will help to settle all 3.
