Consumer Review Video - 2010 Kia Forte EX 2.0L 4 Cyl. Sedan (4 Door)
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2010 Forte
The 2010 Kia Forte EX has quite a few challenging lights procedures. Most of the headlights won’t allow for reliable changes as their entire housing will need to be removed for access. The side front turn signal in particular may be problematic to change as it is located in the intricately-constructed side view mirror. The tail lights will also require tools to change them—either to pry back large portions of trunk lining or to remove the bulb assemblies themselves.
However, besides the lights, the 2010 Kia Forte EX is easy to maintain. The fuse boxes are easy to find and the one in the engine comes provided with a fuse puller, allowing for reliable fuse changes. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together and can be easily removed and set up. Changing the engine air filter won’t be a problem as the housing disengages without any tools.
