2015 Kia Forte stalls, runs then stops. Dealership can't find the problem!

Asked by Fanny Apr 22, 2019 at 11:49 PM about the 2015 Kia Forte LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just purchased a 2015 Kia Forte and it was running perfectly until about a
week ago. I took if to a Kia Dealership and they were not able to detect an
issue. The car has no lights on and no codes pop up in the scanner. The car
will run perfectly for about 10-15 minutes and the starts to shut off. Anyone
have an idea or has this happened to any of you?

That’s the same thing mine does. It has no codes and the dealership kept going back and forward between the manufacturer supposedly and they never found anything. I took it to two other shops and nothing. A mobile mechanic suggested it could be the throttle body or the throttle body programming? They suggested taking it to a mechanic that specialized in the electrical parts or the car. (I haven’t done this yet, but maybe you have the same issue.)
