Guys,
My son-in-law bought a 2018 Kia Forte a few months ago. It only has about 30K miles on it now. He and my daughter were going down the highway and a check engine light came on and it started running rough. They took it to a dealership and they said that it had low compression on 2 cylinders and likely needed a new engine. I'm not mechanic, but I'm curious if anyone out there knows if there is a common problem that crops up in 2018 Kia Fortes that could cause this. Or is it maybe just bad luck? They've had the car for a few months and have had no issues, so this really seemed out of left field. The car is at the dealer now and they have a rental car. Any info/advice that I can pass along to them would be appreciated. Thanks!
