The car has less than 88,000 miles on it. The car started making ticking noise. The repair shop said it is the engine and it needs replaced. They also said this was a very common issue on these engines. Said it wasn't worth the cost to replace. I'm so angry cause the car still should have alot of life left in it. The car has been taken care of and this is a faulty because of kia!!.
Took care of the car and my motor has recently gone out. Lost power going up hill and had a bad ticking noise I pulled off an exit and it sounded like something broke in the motor. Very disappointed.
I had a mild engine knocking noise for a several weeks, but just had an oil change a few days prior to the incident. I was driving down the road and the car seemed to be struggling to shift gears and go. I pulled over and heard terrible rod knocking and engine clanking noises. I turned the car off to call my father and ask if he thought I could make it home, and I agreed to attempt it. When I turned the car back on the rod knocking was worse than before, it made a very loud clicking noise when I accelerated, and the oil light came on. I got back on the road and the engine stalled within minutes, in the middle of a busy intersection.

My engine started making a loud clicking sound when I started the car and continued as I drove, then the check engine light came on. We took it to a mechanic that same day. I spoke with 3 mechanics, all said it's a common engine problem with kia's and they said it was spun crank on the rod bearings and it's a common issue with kia's. I have had the car since 2010 and only have 50k miles on it. They refuse to honor their 100,000 miles 10 year warranty.
