My kia was jus fine driving down to my daughters house which is an hour n half where I live. Where all of a sudden engine light came on and a knocking sound came on slight noise. I kept an eye on the noise and vehicle. When we stopped I checked all the liquids and everything was fine. We had to take care of some things then on our way home it was sounding horrible and all of a sudden the check engine light was on, oil light and battery light. So I pulled over and called to have my car towed home. I did not want to risk anything worse, but honestly I think it is the worse for absolutely no reason for when there is no leaks and all fluids are full.
The engine started making knocking sounds. I'm afraid it might catch fire.
Motor has been making pecking sound for period of time. As going down the road today it died in the road. Finally got it to crank enough to get out of the road but it's making a louder knocking sound.
Since ive bought my car its had a ticking/knocking noise coming from the engine. Really loud in the morning and it used to go away after driving now its consistently making noise. Ive been to numerous mechanics and all say that its normal for these engines. The noise keeps getting louder and I only have 118,200 miles on this car. The car is in excellent shape and I baby it. Besides some minor scratches it looks and runs brand new besides the damn knocking sound.
While driving car started to make knocking noises coming from engine. Last week Thursday. ( may 31, 2018) mileage at 65k. Then suddenly engine off' on its own. Did not want to start. Starter and battery was fine based on towing company staff who helped with tow. Next day had a mechanic diagnose the problem engine, he indicated the engine has locked, oil level was good but was sludgy. Had an annual oil change mid Feb 2018. I normally drive to and from work it takes about 15mins. With traffic 20mins. I stay in guam, island is quite small 18 miles wide and 31 miles long. Called dealer asked about recall for this particular problem to be told no recalls have been filed by kia based on my vehicles VIN number. Searched the web found many complaints about this similar or same problem. A class action suit has been filed in quebec canada on this matter for kia Forte 2010 engine problems/locking. Hopefully I am not the only person suffering from this problem. Please help.
Took my kia Forte in to the auto repair shop because the engine started making a knocking noise. I have the oil changed regularly just as it is supposed to be done, and just had it changed less than 2 weeks ago. The shop said the engine has major engine failure and that there was nothing I can do about it. They said I will have to replace the engine. I called the kia dealership to find out about the recalls on Kia Motors and they said that my engine is not on the recall list but that there are many of the same motors that are failing and I would have to call kia consumer affairs to find out if maybe they will add my engine. I see nothing but where other kia owners are having the same issue with both the 2l & 2. 4l engine and kia is being nasty about replacing them. I am very upset as my car is not part of their recall and know that it should be.
