The true reason for this to put out code for knock sensor fauilare are that the connecting rod bearing is going out and that little bit of play between the rod and crank makes the knock sensor code come up it knocks moving or not this is a serious proublem the engine could have a serious engine failuare and at mid speed it can and will be life treating, fire, parts being thrown threw fire wall hitting occupants in car or outside it started the knocking at 130000 miles I am a mechanic of over 40 years.

The engine just stopped while driving. It was determined that the connecting rod broke and failed on the number one piston. Pieces of metal caused the crankshaft to lock up and pieces pierced the block causing complete engine failure. The connecting rod was cast wrong and it seems after the car has 100k miles it gives out. To me this is a safety hazard.

This needs to be recalled you are already recalling over 200,000 cars up to 2015 for the Hyundai/kia engine failure error- but those affected with a 2016 aren't being helped. Vehicle has been deemed by a mechanic to have a stock faulty engine error and oil intake!!!.

Airbag warning on dash randomly activates. Vehicle was taken in for engine failure(seized crankshaft) and was repaired under warranty. Told dealership about air bag issue at this time. I was told that there was a recall on this vehicle for a computer update that I was never informed about. I got my vehicle back engine runs fine but airbag warning light has come back on again after 5 days. I am notifying dealership of issue tomorrow (7/26/18).
