this vehicle (2013 kia forte rides extremely rough.It sounds like the suspension has totally faild.New engine at 40000 miles. well aligned and rides well.terrible noise inside vehicle while driving on gravel roads.(very concerned) appreciate any input
No accident to report. This will will be my second time replacing suspension springs and brake light assembly. I have reason to believe that the 2013 Kia Forte EX model has a recall on these item because my car isn't the only vehicle in for these exact issues. I wish to have these investigated because this is becoming most costly than expected.
