I certainly agree with that bit. I am hoping that they take up more responsibility on the matter since the evidence has already been presented and it was their own guys that wiped it off, causing it not to be seen anymore. Also mainly due to the age of the vehicle, barely 3 months old when it happened, along with other issues that occurred with the auto transmission earlier.

Hopefully something comes out of it eventually...

yea bro i understand ur concern, maybe u can go to few different SC and request them to check.
seriously those !@#$%^& dont know our worry and inconvenience they will cause for that kind of attitude.

when i got my car last time, my AC blew hot air after few weeks, brought it to nearby SC, they refilled my gas and they claimed 101% no leaking, then during my first service I requested them to check again, and again they said 101% no problem. i trusted them and 2 weeks later, what a lol, it blew hot air again.

i went to another SC, which is really good last time, they identified my problem in first visit. solved my problem in a week during CNY somemore. too bad that the SC already shut down.

Hi! Guy, I'm new here. Does anyone know about current Recall Campaign from KIA? KIA SC give a message about service ATF HOSE. Is it true? Thanks.

i think a year ago or so already have recall for certain batch regarding atf hose.
hose will burst suddenly when u are driving. they can check whether you are affected or not by chassis number.

Hi everyone,

I'm not a Forte owner but I need advice from Kia owners in general so I thought here's a good place to ask. My poor one month old Cerato kena accident 2 days ago (other driver's fault)  cry.gif  The damage is minor, a dent on the mudguard above the front right wheel. The other driver didn't want to claim insurance and is willing to pay for my repairs.

So I need some advice from anyone who can help. Does Kia have centres that do repairs and body work? From the Naza Kia website, how can i know which centres can do repairs? Is Kia themselves doing the work or will they send to panel workshops? Can anyone recommend a centre that is good based on personal experience? Also, would you recommend sending to a Kia centre or any outside body shop would do? My concern is whether outside shops will be able to match the same shade of paint (grey) as the rest of the car.

Sorry for all the questions but it's my first new car and I'm really at a loss on what to do  sad.gif

got for 4S service centre, they can spray your car

Just want to know, does anyone of you having issue with the windshield water hose (not sure with the correct term)?
The water didn't spray out or spray low, can't even reach the windscreen and after sent for service and repaired, this issue come again (after 2 - 3 months).
Is this thing so easily get damaged? never have such issue with other cars even almost 10 years.
Will ask them during my visit of service maintenance next month.

1. hose sumbat, got any tyre shop they can tiup for you
2. inside tangki sumbat, need open and clean from below

Mine might be different sound from yours (might be different case also). So i need to hear it to confirm that the gla gla gla sound is the same sound with my car. i felt that mine is not so obviously heard but your is so annoying..maybe our issue is not the same. I believe that mine is normal..but the same might not be applicable to u & others sweat.gif

there is a discussion about this issue...an old one.

sound coming out when accelerate

btw...no result, as most technician and even KIA rep also said its normal.

so just like epo said...as long as its cold...guna saja lah.  laugh.gif

when off AC tarak hal
i think it should be something wrong/loose within the AC system since only forte from certain batch kena

they probably tau what it is lol, some members claimed the compressor but said still got the sound.
i request tukar from SC Setapak 4-5 times but they dont give sad.gif cerita nenek je banyak.

dono which workshop kind enough can swap compressor test test sweat.gif
btw price local compressor RM500 only.
