2011 Kia Forte driver's door will not trigger dome light/door ajar notification when opened. All remaining doors work just fine.

Check the switch is ok on the driver's door , it's faulty or stuck in the off position .

My 2011 Kia Forte check engine light is on, ran the code P200A Intake Manifold Performance Bank 1, engine is whining noise while stepping on and off the gas.Any ideas what this could be?

well kia has had this problem from day one ..........it is The Variable Charge Motion Actuator (VCMA).. The Variable Charge Motion Actuator (VCMA) is used for an adjustment of automotive flap and it is operated with two position, open and close. It makes swirl among intake air to reduce emission under cold start condition. This is worm gear driver type which doesn't guarantee restoring to limp home position in the case of loss of current supply. (This doesn't have mechanical return force due to no return spring.) DTC Description If PCM detects that the opened or closed stop position is out of the specified value, It sets P200A. 26131552-einxwqaaw0pcb422bfzlnapd-5-0.jpg 26131552-einxwqaaw0pcb422bfzlnapd-5-2.gif

Have 2011 kia forte. it makes this strange grinding noise when you first turn on the heat

You may have squirrels storing food for the winter in your car. Try locating the in-cabin air filter(usually located behind the glove box on most cars) and remove the access panel and filter. The fan is most likely below the filter check to see if there are pine cones, peanuts, or apples in there. Remove debris and replace.

Ho do I change the transmission oil in the Kia 2011 Cerato?

This will ,be best handled by an accredited specialist that has experience on your car. With that many miles on the clock with no maintenance, the oil filter in the box will need changing/cleaning and as the pan has to come off to do that it will be best to have the bands and clutch packs adjusted at the same time..
