Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Optima

I was headed to ky December 2020 to visit my father. The car started making rattling noise. As I hit the gas petal, the car was stopping in on coming 1-65 traffic heading north. I pulled over and had to call my insurance company to tow to the nearest auto repair shop. I was nearly 50 miles from bowling green kentucky (12-23-20). I called my insurance and we set up arrangements for towing to pick up the next morning (less than 24 hours- christmas eve). Within less than 24 hours, the car was impounded by kentucky police near glasgow, ky. After paying towing fees and tickets, I finally got my car to auto company to run diagnostics report. After completion, I found out the engine failed along with more stuff. I immediately called the dealer who sold me the car (kia-huntsville, al) to ask for advice on next steps. He told me to contact the nearest kia service department near where the car was immediately to get it fixed because of the recall on the vehicle. The car was finally towed to martin kia (bowling green kentucky). They put me in line to have the vehicle properly and completely fixed. On January 4, 2021 the vehicle was in kia possession to fix recall repairs. March 6, 2021 I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle because it was promised that the vehicle is completed. After picking up the car, I had to wait 45minutes because my car was locked and tire light came on. I was pulled to side and told the vehicle was fixed by brand new employee and to check to make sure a engine light does not come on because if so, it's probably the new hire fault for it messing up. After all of that, I was headed home and the car stopped a second time! after contacting local police, I was told to go back to kia to return the keys and make them tow the vehicle to get it off of the interstate.

I was driving home from work and my car stalled on me out of no where. I was able to get started. All my lights on my dash board came on and my car was making a bad rattling noise. I was able to drive it home, still stalling from time to time. I got it towed to a mechanic shop. He said it sounds like a bad engine and it sounds like it could blow. I've had my car for 2 years and have never had a problem with it. It never made a noises before or anything to indicate my engine was going out. I got my piles changed on 8/11/2020 around 2:30pm at murphysboro, IL walmart. This incident happened on 8/13/2020.

Keep hearing a loud rattling noise from the left side of the engine. He is more so when the car is in park and early morning. Has gone to the shop twice for this issues and each time have been told they can not find the problem even provided a recording of the sound. Also the radio complete shuts off by itself has done this 3 times now. Once again have taking it to the dealer and nothing was done about because the problem would not duplicate it's self. The passenger window gets stuck and have to play with the knobs in order to get it to come back up. I got this car July 21. 2017. The car has been in the show twice. First time for a week. Second time 6 days. Still no solution. Was told by lemon law to take it back and have them service it again. Has to be seen by dearer service department four times for the same problem before they will help.

The contact owns a 2015 kia Optima. The contact stated that the vehicle shook whenever the engine was running and a loud rattling noise was heard underneath the hood. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the fourth piston failed and needed to be replaced. The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer where it was determined that the sludge in the oil pan caused sludge to enter the engine. The vehicle did not receive an official diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and stated that the repair was not covered under the warranty due to the sludge in the engine. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.

2015 kia Optima was out of oil @ 22,000 miles and no indicator light had gone on when it was taken to an oil change. The oil change place was the one that indicated that the vehicle had no oil in it. It started making some rattling noise specially goint uphill so I took it in to kia service department. They diagnosed it with "sludge" in the engine and engine would have to be replaced. I had to prove 3 previous receipts of oil changes otherwise the warranty would not cover it. I do not have those receipts and 16 days later took it to the same place I did most recent oil change because oil light had turned on. The vehicle again had no oil in it. The topped it off but mentioned that it was not normal for such a recent model to be burning oil. Vehicle is still running but makes rattling noise once in a while, produces white smoke out of exhaust pipe and I have to put oil in it every couple of days. I cannot afford to buy a new engine. I am a single mom and needs a reliable vehicle to get to work.

2015 kia Optima, only 47k miles. . . . Engine failure. . . The dealership says its sludge. . . And I have to provide all my maintenance records. It started with white smoke coming out of the tailpipe and loud rattling noise when I accelerated, then this past Saturday, it started to shake violently and the check engine light went on . I had to get it towed. This is kia's fault!!! not mine. I've done the same routine maintenance on my Toyota and Honda which had over 100k miles with no problems! I am being told by kia that it won't be covered under the warranty.

Engine failure at 15 months old and 42,000 miles. Kia denied warranty coverage because I could not prove oil changes. Same complaint as thousands of other kia vehicles, happened abruptly, car starting making loud rattling noise on acceleration while driving, no warning, sludge in engine. I had to pay out of pocket for a new engine to be installed with no assistance from kia or my local dealership.
