Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento

Driving home from 30 mile trip and engine made a big ticking noise then a boom. Lots of smoke coming from hood and coasted to stop. Only has 107k miles. Never had a car do this before. Got it analyze from garage and there is a hole in the engine block.

Was driving car straight down city street when it suddenly lost power and engine shut off. Was able to restart and it kept doing same thing and made a clicking noise from engine. Took it to shop and battery and alternator fine, they are telling me that engine is seizing up.

Driving to work this morning and my 2013 kia Sorento stalled. Pulled to the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle. Engine began a clanking noise. Had vehicle towed to my mechanic and they haven't reported back yet. Recall notice was never sent to me. Nhtsa recall number: 7v224 recall date: March 31, 2017 manufacturer recall number: sc147.

It started making a knocking and loud tapping noise when I was driving down a city streed. It kept getting louder and worse when I tried to accelerate.

I've had my oil changes on time. Theyre free at my dealership so im there like clockwork. I drove to work just fine but when it was time to go home I noticed my engine was making a ticking noise. I turned the car off and back on to make sure and it was ticking. Now my check engine light comes on. As im driving out the parking garage I noticed a load knocking sound. I checked my car and it read a p0014 code which is an advanced camshaft. After dropping it off at the dealer they told me I may need a new engine. I spoke to someone at kia who said that there was a recall on 2013 kia sorrentos but mine wasnt under the recall because it was made at a different location. Although my car had similar issues kia would not help! since I just bought the car and im not the primary owner im stuck with either a high repair bill or carrying over a bunch of negative equity into a new car deal. Kia is known for their faulty engines and I just wish I knew this before buying one!.

I previously had no issues with my vehicle, besides an airbag light that repeatedly turned on for no reason. I followed recommended scheduled maintenance and had recently had an oil change and full diagnostic. A week ago, while driving, my engine suddenly began sputtering then died. I pulled over, looked under the hood, and found nothing visibly amiss. Then I got back into the car and it started back up. Then after driving a short distance there was a clicking sound in the engine and my engine light had come on. I drove another 20 minutes, parked the vehicle over night and started it up the next morning. Although it continued to click the engine light was no longer on. After driving about 30 minutes the clicking grew more insistent than there was a loud "snap" noise and my engine died. I towed the car to my repair shop, the kia dealership in waipahu, and they informed me that the engine had seized and was irreparable. They could not diagnose exactly what was wrong but they assured me that regardless of my diligent maintenance the vehicle was beyond reasonable repair.

Our family was driving on the interstate and the vehicle started making a low clicking noise. We got off on the next exit and the car just turned off. No signals or lights turned on. After inspection from the dealership it was discovered that the engine rod bearing had blown out and made a hole on the engine. The vehicle only had approximately 72k miles on it. How does this happen. Recalls for other kia Sorento have been issued but not my 2013 kia. For this reason the engine and parts was not covered by warranty. Engine was backordered from November and came in at the end of March.

I was traveling down a route 30 in greensburg, PA at approximately 45 mph. There was a slight clicking noise and then silence. No noise. The engine light came on. The gas pedal would not work. The power steering would not work. I was able to coast into the mall parking lot. I had my vehicle towed to allwine curry auto sevice, a local garage, for evaluation. I was told that the engine was shot and that a used one could be installed for $3500. We purchased our vehicle used from smail kia in may 2017. We have our oil changed every 6000 miles. We have not had a oil light come on or any warning that there is a problem.

I am the secondary owner of a 2013 kia Sorento, with 45,000 miles and the 2. 4 l theta 11 mpi engine. After working on March 2nd 2018, I started the car to go home and heard a very loud clanking noise. It was so bad I called to have it towed home because it was way to late to have towed to a dealer. Here comes the bad news. Kia mechanics came back to tell me I had thrown a rod and the engine was ruined. What? at 45,000 miles? how is that possible? well at least I have a warranty right. Oh no. Turns out I am 14 days past the 5 year warranty. Because I am not the primary owner the $6185 bill to fix it would have to come from my pocket. I called kia corporate pleaded my case and got a case # to see if they could do anything about my situation. After 2 weeks in limbo and over $400 in rental bills. Kia came back with nope, to bad not under our warranty and the recalls for the same problem on the Sorento engines don't cover your car because it was made in the georgia plant and not the iowa plant. So kia will only take part blame for these same engine problems. And every one who has a blown engine not made in iowa is out of luck with a huge repair bill. Well there is a class action lawsuit for the kia's with the gdi engines. Any one thinking we should do something about the cars they are trying to sweep under the rug. Email me. I need a new hobby. Still in limbo with no car. Zippitydoome@aol. Com.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 kia Sorento. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph a ticking noise emerging from the engine compartment started, the vehicle started to loose power and the noise got louder then the vehicle stalled. The oil warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to coast to the shoulder. The vehicle was towed to the dealer saint cloud kia in waite park minnesota. The vehicle still at the dealer awaiting for a diagnosis. The contact also stated that the vehicle was taken for a recall evaluation on 08/31/17 to lupinte kia in brooklyn park minnesota and was advised that the vehicle was ok to be driven. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000. Bp.

Engine lockd up making a clicking sound when started. It locked up steering and gear shift a couple times before it started the noise. Was told by dealership not covered by recall because manufactured in different plant than other Sorentos with exact same problem.

Kia Sorento 2013 88k miles, going down highway, loss of power, light clunking noise. Coasted to stop. Towed to a shop. They said timing chain not lubricated, broke and destroyed cylinder head. Can't get replacement motor because of a freeze on selling these motors.

My car has worked fine up until the very moment this occurred. I was driving on the highway at 60 mph when it started making clicking noises. It became very hard and heavy to drive. Not more than 15 miles later I was able to exit and the moment I turned right the engine began to shake, the power steering no longer worked, and the car shut off. Thank goodness I was able to glide into a parking lot or a major accident and injuries could have occurred. There are metal shavings in my oil and the bearing completely fell out of my car. I went back to pick up all the pieces (see picture attached) no engine light has ever come on. I have never missed an oil change. This car is only 6 years old with 67,000 miles on it. Kia is claiming my car is not one that is in the engine recall.

Purchased 2013 kia Sorento brand new on 6/11/12, car was shaky and idled roughly on & off during the first year, seems to have resolved itself. On 12/22/14 while driving 35 mph on secondary road engine began to make a ticking sound. Parked vehicle and had it towed the following day on 12/23/14 to kia dealership, they called me that afternoon and told me it was the oil control valve and it was ordered and requested for overnight and car would be done on 12/24/14. I called dealer on 12/24/14 @ 11:03am and part wasn't in yet was told that I'd be called when part arrived. Received call from dealer at 2pm that part had arrived and been installed by tech but that engine was still making ticking noise, so not fixed. Was told that they would have to start over again on Friday 12/26/14 with request to kia warranty service for approval for "engine tear down", which I will also have to authorized and agree to pay $400. 00 for (waived if all repairs are covered by warranty). This vehicle only has 53000 miles on it and has been driven for 30 months, all regular maintenance schedules followed and there should no way be an internal engine problem on a properly built engine. Kia has some serious issues with the engine in this car and should have recalled the entire line of 2013 Sorento's and corrected the problem. I was told by the service department at the dealer that " we may be looking at a new engine". I hope not, even though I could have a almost 3 year old car with no mileage I don't want one, if the first engine has this serious problem what would the second engine have. I am going to do everything in my power to hold kia responsible and make them cover under warranty.

This contact is reporting about 2013 kia Sorento. I was driving slowly and I heard a noise. It sounded like a rubbing or popping nose. I called and made an appointment. I also complained about the stalling I felt when I was driving 20-30 miles an hour. The mechanic stated yes I noticed that but I think it is the eco system which saves gas. I said cant we turn it off? he stated he did not know. He ordered the part (strut top bearing) for the popping sound, gave me the note he wrote, and it did not say a word about the stall. . However, when I drove off the lot and figured out how to turn off the eco system the car stalled worse, it feel t as if the car was having issues shifting in to gear. This is so awful, I am paying 26,000 dollars for this car and it is my first car and here I am having issues already. . . It also feels like it is veering to side to side when I drive it, but the mechanic stated he was not able to duplicate the problem.
