In motion on highway going 70. 2017 kia started making ticking noise no oil light on or any warnings after few miles rod went through side of block then into starter damaging it leaving car disabled. Removed engine from car to replace opened the engine up and found to be a result of a recall issue car has 104000 on it. Found sump filter clogged with bearing material restrictting oil flow. The dealer or kia wont do anything refusing to fix it. I now have a new engine ordered and getting it wensday, the car is not even paid off and as a result I can not make it to work to make a living till I get the engine installed. This has been going on for 4 months.
