Engine Knocking Noise Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

We were traveling from bloomsburg, PA to myrtle beach, SC on December 26, 2019 and as we were pulling off the road to find a gas station the engine turned off/stopped working and we lost the power steering. Luckily my husband was able to safely pull off the side of the road and stop in a safe area. At that time the engine smoked and we checked all the fluids. The oil appeared to be low but no indicator lights came on prior. We proceeded to get oil and after we put it in and tried to drive it there was a loud knocking sound so we did not proceed forward. We called for a tow truck to tow us to the closest kia dealership which was koons of woodbridge, va which was 10 minutes away. After we got it there they were able to start it and move it into the garage. We told them what happened and that we filled the oil, that there were no sensor alerts before the engine just shut off. After they looked into the vehicle they told us that they couldn't find any oil leaks but to diagnosis it they'd have to tear the engine down. They advised that the diagnostics and repair might be covered by kia's power train warranty but if any sludge was found it would void the warranty. They estimated the diagnosis and repair to the engine to be $10,000 dollars. They believed they knew what the problem was and two key parts would need to be replaced. We opted to trade the vehicle in to koons kia in woodbridge and purchased a 2018 sorento left over due to the time it would take to diagnosis the engine failure and possible costs. This was the first day of our vacation.

At 109k miles, the engine started making a knocking sound. The mechanic diagnosed a worn out rod bearing, and stated the engine would likely fail in the near future. Complete engine failure happened within 24 hours of diagnosis, approximately 48 hours after knocking sounds were first detected. Engine failed while vehicle was in motion, while turning into a parking lot.

At 101,000 miles the engine blew up. As I was driving I heard a loud knocking sound and all the lights on the dashboard illuminated. I immediately pulled over. I had our van towed to the nearest kia dealership where I was told, 3 days later, that our engine blew up. I came across a recent recall for the same issue from kia with the sorento.

- the contact has a 2006 kia Sedona van. The vehicle has had a knocking sound on the driver's side, under the hood. She was told by a tire manufacturer and a mechanic that the cv joints and motor mounts were causing the knocking sound. From 0 - 5 mph, when she turns or brakes, or when the vehicle moves forward or backwards it makes the knocking sound. The weather is not a factor. The knocking was constant and got louder upon driving the vehicle. The current and failure mileage were both 14,289 miles.

The vehicle did not hold when going down a hill or no low range. There was a knocking sound coming from the motor(dealer didn't find problem), and a wind noise had come from the front glass while the vehicle was in motion.
