My 2013 kia Sorento with only 108,000 miles and excellent maintenance records suddenly blew a rod from the engine block. This is extremely dangerous and scary and never have I had to replace an engine in a car with such low miles. I would please like you to investigate my specific engine failure to see if it aligns with the multitude of other recalls that the 2013 kia Sorento has issued. My car just stalled at a red light. . . 3 ignition lights came on. . . Oil pressure, battery and check engine. I turned the car over and it started. It was making a horrible sound so I pulled immediately over. The engine had already failed. I cannot understand this at all as I am religious with oil changes and maintenance. Please investigate further.

Had to have it towed 40 miles to mechanic who said the rod bearing was the blame and the debris from that caused extensive damage to the vehicle. Contacted kia 3 times and spoke to supervisors, but they said my engine / VIN # was not covered under the recall and that it was up to me to get fixed. $7000. 00 !!.

On July 11th 2017, my husband was driving home from work in his 2013 kia Sorento on interstate 35 going 65 mph when he heard a loud noise coming from under the hood. He continued to drive to get to the rest stop which he did not make it the engine just died , no warning lights or anything, so he had to pulled off to the side of the road and called for a tow truck, the kia was towed to the nearest mechanic which upon examination of the car determined that the engine seized up and would need to be replaced, they could replace it for $5000-6000 since they are a gm dealer we decided to have it towed to a kia dealer who came to the same conclusion and would charge us $5875 for a used engine with 120,000 miles on it which is more than our car has on it or $7100 for a new engine. We have a 2. 4 liter mpi which is not part of the recall but should be, there is no reason a 4 year old car with routine oil changes should blow and engine!.

Engine started making a loud noise, checked oil turned engine off and on again and noise continued. Drove home approx 150 miles from visiting our son at college. After arriving at home engine still made noise. Took into dealer the following day and today was informed we are needing a new short block engine and it's on backorder for a week and a half. Not a happy customer, since I am making car payments and don't have the vehicle. It worries me what is yet to come with this vehicle. The reason we purchased it to begin with was the warranty, but had we known we'd be using it 7 months into owning this kia I would have never purchased it to begin with. I do want to say the dealership we are dealing with are extremely helpful with a loaner car, although it's a sedan and not what I purchased. So they are doing their part and I appreciate that fact.

We purchased 2 kia vehicles on 12-8-2013, one being the 2013 kia Sorento awd 4-cyl-gdi. We took delivery of the vehicle and had to return on Monday to turn in the other trade. We questioned the salesman about the rough idle and loud noise that it made at stops but he said it was normal and it would work itself out after a break-in period. The next day when we were stopped at a red light the vehicle began to shake and the lights stated to flicker, I told my wife to give it gas and then it stopped. . Until she let off the pedal. We submitted am inquiry to kia through the website and by the next day we were contacted by a regional rep. We scheduled an appointment to bring it in and then I began researching this issue. . . To which I quickly lost that warm fuzzy feeling of a new kia owner! we left our vehicle at the dealership for days until we had enough, we were fixing to have to pay a note on a vehicle we didn't have! we called and picked our vehicle back up, we are being told that the parts are on back-order from korea. We have been contacted from a rep out of georgia now and we just keep being told to be patient. I am not happy at all as we purchased two new vehicles and we should not be having to deal with this. Had we left our vehicle at the dealership (which is what they wanted while we drove a nasty rental) we be out for at least a month as the parts aren't scheduled to be shipped until the 21st of January! we have no idea of our legal rights if any, and I do not feel comfortable with my wife and children in this vehicle. Kia offers nothing more than a stinky rental car and please be patient. . . . The service manager however at the dealership has been wonderful. . Unlike the sales manager!.
