What owners wrote

Takata recall needs to recall the breaks on the 2014 kia forte. On novemeber 21st 2016 I totalled my kia due to failure of manafacurer breaks they didnt stop me and I rear ended a car which hot another that hit another. The speed control on the car is very hard to control I bearly push on fhe gas and it zoomed off t went from 0-30 really quick. Durring the wreck I was going approximately 25-30 MPH which when I hit the car due to the breaks failing my car bouced off of it and the airbags never deployed.

Car had began burning through oil rapidly but upon inspection at oil changes, no leak or cause could be detected. The oil light indicator never came on either. The car would begin ticking while driving, and noticeably drove differently but problem could not be determined. No check engine light ever came on. On a clear day while driving about 45 MPH on highway, vehicle gave a loud and forceful jerk and popping sound, and promptly lost power and speed, and the brakes quit working.
