R G., BC (2016 Kia Forte SX 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"Phone loses the contact/pairing while the car is parked"
Anonymous, IN (2016 Kia Forte LX 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"AM radio stopped working - needed warranty service from the dealer to fix the problem. They replaced the car antenna."
Tom B., QC (2016 Kia Forte SX 1.6-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Cruise control works intermittently. Took it to dealership several times, last time with a video of the problem in action, before they agreed to replace. And I am still having the same intermittent problem. Sometimes, it will not turn on at all"
Tammy Z., FL (2016 Kia Forte SX 1.6-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Software for the voice command for phone is not as good as the software in the Kia Soul. The navigation system is better on the Forte than the Kia Soul, but the software comprehension not as good."

"Stopped working completely. Research with user groups showed that it wasn't an uncommon problem. The dealer replaced it under warranty"
