Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Sorento

Car started making knocking noise with loss of power while driving on 45mph road. Checked oil, no oil. No warning lights came in dash prior or currently indicating loss of oil pressure of check engine light.

The engine may stop working entirely without warning. Shut off and will not provide power, making knocking sounds.

My 2014 kia sorrento started to make knocking sound and I took it to the dealer to check out. Check engine light did not come on or any other warning signs. After checking service department said that the engine needs to be replaced and it sounds like there are metal pieces in the engine. They also said that kia sorrento 4 cylinder had the same problem and it was recalled but not the 6 cylinder. They also advised me not to drive too long because the engine may stall. They quote me $7000 to replace the engine or suggested to trade in for a different car. I brought the car home and towed it to a local mechanic and they said the same thing and asked me to call kia USA and file a complaint. They said that there are lot of TSB's on this 2014 kia sorrento. According to kia dealership notes they say "connecting rod failure".

January 10, 2020 had the recalls on my car checked. Nothing was wrong. While driving home February 28, 2020, my car started to make a horrible knocking noise. I was only about 2 miles from home. Pulled in and turned car off. Contact kia was told to bring car in the next morning that there was a lifetime warranty on the motor. Start the car and drive 2 miles, the check engine like started blinking, oil pressure light came on, car died and never has started back. Asked the kia dealer if they were able to provide me with a loaner car and was told no. First I was out a $300 towing bill because they never ever checked out the engine recall, and now I am out another $300 on a rental.

The issue is the engine it's burning the oil and one of the recall that this vehicle has been a knocking sound in the engine and thats the problem that I'm having. The problem occurred in the road when I smelled the burning oil. Now my mechanics says that I have to replace a engine that only is 6 yrs old.

Engine light came on along with oil filter light only weeks after oil change and knocking sound became clear in my engine area. Vehicle has also shut off in the middle of driving.

The engine problems I started experiencing 1. Car hesitates when accelerating, 2. Knocking noise from engine, lack of power low oil pressure, when I put oil in the car, seems like the next days its low again,(empty)I spent many dollars on oil, I had the oil changed every 3 months sometimes at (kia) because I get free oil change, and most at jiffy lube, here lately, the oil seems to be burning more, check engine light is flashing off and on , the car is unsafe to drive. The car is in my garage. 3. The back brakes went out , suddenly, coat me 500. 00 dollars. Unacceptable the brakes completely , went out. There was a problem with the back brakes I was told by the kia dealer at evergreen chicago, 4. Low mileage, charcoal canister fell off, the brackets broke off, but we tied it back up, getting low mileage, I am upset because I am paying for this car, monthly, and now I am experiencing these problem ,unacceptable these cars has had engine recalls. Fuel recalls etc. The charcoal canister fell off , first I had it wrap up, the car was still running . The problem with the engine started Nov - Dec -2019.

My wife and I were on the 91 freeway in light traffic and came to the end of the freeway which becomes artesia blvd in gardena, CA. We were sitting at the light at the end of the freeway and we heard this really loud knocking noise so I shut the engine off. I restarted the engine and it was ok for several minutes then all of a sudden we heard this really loud noise like the engine was being opened with a can opener and this was while in motion on surface streets going about 45 miles an hour. (that's what we thought to best describe the noise). When you press the accelerator it becomes much worse and the car shakes so we parked it and towed home due to the time. I have yet to have it towed to the dealer due to it being late and the weekend. But a friend of mine who's a mechanic said it's definitely the engine and he's leaning towards the barrings and pistons somewhere along those lines. I have kept regular maintenance on it since we got it like changing of fluids, oil things like that since we purchased it on 04/17/2019. We have had other minor things like the locks on the driver side door you have to do manually and the rear hatch doesn't lock and you can open it even with the alarm on, suspension system is a little loose and probably has issues also. Transmission is slipping also. There's all of the same year same model same engine that are on the recall list but from what we're gathering ours isn't. I am not quite understanding this because we're positive this is the same issue as the other ones recalled.

Upon initiating and attempting to accelerate from a stopped position when a light turned green all the dash lights went berserk, there was a loud pop, followed by smoke coming from the hood of the car. The car died and was able to be restarted for a single small acceleration to the shoulder. Thick smoke then engulfed then engulfed the hood and continued for 15 mins. Upon being towed, the mechanics confirmed all fluid levels were normal however the engine is fully seized, unable to be cranked by hand. The vehicle was purchased as certified pre-owned. In fact, the dealership owner's neighbor had previously owned the vehicle and it was exceptionally maintained. Under my ownership all regularly scheduled maintenance visits have been made and the oil changed approximately every 5,00 miles. In April 2018 a knocking sound was present and the check engine light came on resulting in the dealership replacing the cvt control valve, valve-oil control, cvvt, gasket outlet and rocker covers, o-ring, bolt flanges, and more. All of which relate to the known (though undisclosed to me) issues with the gdi engines. The vehicle is currently unusable with a seized engine.

Kia engine recall. 2014 kia Sorento has the 3. 3 v6 lambda ii engine. Driving car on freeway and suddenly loud knocking noises coming from engine that became louder with acceleration - making car undriveable. Had vehicle towed to dealership, it is currently still there - diagnosis so far is metal shavings in oil pan, engine failure. This is the same issue described in the the kia recall with the theta ii engines. Called kia and all they said was they would only open a case number. So far they have not included this engine in the recall. Searching online, there are others with the 3. 3 lambda ii engine experiencing this issue. This engine needs to be included in the recall, it is a severe safety issue.

In motion while passing another vehicle my 2014 kia Sorento lost acceleration. When I got back in the lane on a two lane road, with my foot on the gas the car continued to decline in speed. I was not able to accelerate to continue to pass the car at which point an oncoming car was approaching, I had to coast the car to get back into my lane and eventually off the road, very scary ordeal, with the loss of power I was not sure if I was going to be able to get out of the way of the oncoming car. Once I was able to get to a safe location off the road, the car cut off. I attempted to restart the car once, nothing, twice the car started then quickly died after another moment I again tried to start the car, it started and remained started. I was able to slowly drive under 40 to an open location, at this time a knocking sound came from the engine. I did not take the chance on driving it any longer as I did not know what was going to happen. I had to call the freeway assist to tow me off the freeway road where I sat in an open unmanned field to wait for another tow truck. The whole ordeal was very scary as I am a female and alone during this incident.

Driving at approx 70 mph on the highway the engine began making a faint knocking sound which very quickly turned into a more rapid hectic knocking sound. As I was exiting the freeway the sound continued to intensify and the engine knocking then became extremely loud almost completely disabling the vehicle on the highway. This happened very quickly leaving me very little time to react to the problem. This was due to a connecting rod bearing failure.

My car starting to begin to show lack of power at first, which I had mentioned in advance in service appointments. Two days before my one year of owning it, the car began to stall out when I stopped for traffic lights within the same day a oil light warning flashed, and the car started to have a knocking noise. I went and added two quarts of oil. Once the oil light disappeared but the knocking continued . I took the car to my regular kia service provider the same day and in the process of going there the engine light came on. I was told to bring it in the next day, the attendant told me that he could hear the knocking, which sounded concerning. I brought the car back the next day as instructed and was told that I should be able to pick it up at end of day. Time passed by and it was getting late towards closing, so I called the shop. I was told that the engines had seized and that the oil bay was dry. I have never seen something happen so fast. I had no warning of any kind of oil issues until the day before, and I had been taking the car in for it's regular services. The car was in the kia service shop, and moved by them. It was running when I brought it in but I am being told that the engine is shot.
