Our kia sorrento has the metal shavings in the oil passage which has caused the entire engine to fail at $50k miles. There is a kia recall for this issue; however, kia is refusing to cover the cost because our vehicle VIN is not part of the specific recall. The estimated cost for repair is $8k, plus our out of pocket costs for renting a call. We also had issues with the car that required air conditioner repair and replacement of the entire center console, but are not sure if they are related to the manufacturing defect at issue currently. In addition, we received a letter saying our airbag indicator is faulty but a recall is not coming up for this item.

I have 2 concerns, 1 mainly I have a newer 2015 kia sorrento with under 25k miles, owned it about 2 years ever since I owned it there has been a ticking in the engine and white smoke blowing out the exhaust. Which should not be thecase with a newer car, after taking it to the dealership they said nothing was wrong. Additionally when I turn on the air conditioner it smells like vinegar or dirty socks an aweful smell, once again the dealership stated nothing wrong with the car. It sounds like kia is covering up old deficiencies with their engines as it said engines manufactured into late 2014 were recalled how is the 2015 kia, which was manufactured in 2014 not on the recall list? additionally there have been many many other people listing the engine seizing up. My wife drives this car with my small children im writing this retractively in case something happen. Additionally we get regular oil changes done. I think this engine model should be recalled. As a newer engine should definitely not be blowing white smoke out of the exhaust nor ticking like the components are displaced.
