QUOTE(eyez98 @ Mar 13 2013, 09:12 AM) Morning world. Another day... Midweek. How has your forte been treating you? Mine gave me a surprise this morning. It came out error message "steering not locked" and won't start when I press push start this morning. Then I try again, ok already. Weirdness. This issue is being explained in the users manual & can easily been solved if we notice the error message on the supervision cluster before u going out of the car. It's due to certain steering position that unalign with the auto steering lock mechanism. This should not happen if we keep the steering in normal straight position when we turn off the engine. It's not a problem by any means & very rarely happens This post has been edited by izputra: Mar 13 2013, 09:51 PM |

QUOTE(izputra @ Mar 13 2013, 09:40 PM) I believe this only applies to the early batch of Forte that comes with 2 year warranty which has an option to purchase for another 3 years extended warranty from the insurance company. Current Forte with originally comes with 5 years warranty from NazaKia should not face this issue i believe... my car is 2013 car, that day i went to SC, SC told me mine should be 1st 2 years under kia, 3-5 years warranty is under allianz... after the SC told me i only know, feel KIA like a bit cheat people about the 5 years warranty |

Besides, as mentioned in some previous post, there is RM200 excess fees to be paid  |

These are genuine users/potential purchasers whom are getting restless over this "5 YEAR WARRANTY" issue. |

It's not a problem by any means & very rarely happens Thx for the info bro. well, maybe it was misaligned but the probability was slim coz I reverse park into my porch and its always straight when I switch off my engine. Anyway thanks! Now I pay more attention to the locking sound whenever I stop the engine. |

Dear Bros/ Sister, Can I really get the exact confirmation : My car was registered in Nov 12 . Do we need to get the letter from Kia confirming our car is under 5 years warranty ? I have following this threat for so long, some says yes, some say no. I am quite worry, if not the 5 years warranty, I would not consider Forte although it has value to buy it. Even different SC saying different answer. TQ |

These are genuine users/potential purchasers whom are getting restless over this "5 YEAR WARRANTY" issue. just to share something i read from FB last week or so, for extended warranty seems it is not up to KIA to decide. owner got it warranty rejected because he missed/late for his 2nd service last time by Allianz. So guys try to be at least punctual for your service. |
