      Driver side window problem

      by Eddie on 1/10/2026 4:39:33 PM

      I bought a new 2024 Kia Forte and I like it except for the mentioned driver side window does not roll down many a times. I took it to KY dealer. First they thought it was the switch, then that did not fix it and I have to bring it back again and waited for few more days to for them to fix it. Then after that the problem persisted, I just did not care so much about it because it opens sometimes but also wont open many times, but now after a year, it will not open anymore. Next week I am going to bring it back again to the dealer to have it fix again.

      Great car

      by Jackie on 1/10/2026 12:22:58 PM

      I have the 2022 Forte 5speed edition and love it. It's zippy and economical to drive, both highway & city driving which is my bread & butter. Easy to handle & all season comfort & reliability in Alberta's seasons. Proper tires & regular maintenance keeps it well tuned. On top of 10 year warranty, my low mileage at under 40k would be an easy sell. The car sells it's self & needs no assistance.

      2023 Forte - manual 6 speed

      by Anonymous Reviewer on 7/20/2025 6:03:50 AM

      I have never had a problem with this car! It's awesome and I love having control of the shifting. I get it serviced before the scheduled time or after an extended drive. Mileage is great, ride is firm and will stay with Kia.
