I have a rattling noise at 45000 miles and I was told by taylor kia after diagnostics that an engine replacement is needed. Kia has a defective engine as shown on many forums and this model needs to be recalled.
At about 80000 miles I noticed a rattling sound from the engine of the car, a similar issue others are mentioning here. I think we need a recall on the engine or at least whatever part is causing this problem.
The engine makes a loud rattling sound and vibration during initial start and initial acceleration, the said noise is much louder during cold engine start ups. The problem only started when the mileage reached around 70,000 miles. Maintenance has been religiously followed especially oil change. I even use factory engine oil filter.
