Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Sorento

On thanksgiving day, the vehicle loss power while driving on the highway to anniston alabama, endangering the lives of myself and my four children. No warning lights. I was giving it gas and it would not go. I was able to get some good samaritans to push it off the road into an empty parking lot. It would not restart, it started smoking, would not take a jump start. Left it over night, came back the next day, had to jump start it but it was now making a ticking noise. Still no warning lights ever came on the day of the incident or after. Had it towed to a repair shop and was told the engine needed replacement. Had it towed back to georgia, had another mechanic look at it and was told it was the engine also. Finally had it towed to kia moters in athens GA, and was unable to get recalls fixed because the engine is bad and was told it's not part of the recall. The car is available to be inspected. Had no warning of failing engine prior to this.

My significant other was driving my car and felt it needed oil due to how it was sounding while driving it. He checked my oil and my car was completely out of oil. No oil warning light went on. He added oil and shortly after the engine began making a ticking noise when he excelerated. He was driving home, approximately 10 miles, and the engine light came on while driving it, lost horse power while driving. I have 100160+ miles on my car, just had an oil change at local kia dealership 3000 miles ago. Always kept up on maintenance oil changes.

My Sorento has less than 65,000 miles on it & is kept well maintained. I was driving on the turnpike (60mph) and heard a clicking sound and could no longer accelerate. I pulled over and the oil, check engine, and another light game on and I could not restart my car. I had to get towed off the very busy highway. The shop said my motor had completely failed and I would need a new one with a quote around $6,000 after installation fees. A well maintained 2015 car should not be experiencing this issue. It is very disheartening for a complete engine failure on a car that is not even 4 years old with less than 65,000 miles.

Bought my kia Sorento about a year and a half ago. It had about 64,000 miles on it. It now has 87,000. We noticed heavy oil consumption within a few months of owning it. No oil leaks exist. At first it would need about a quart or so between oil changes, but continued to get worse because now we need almost 3 between oil changes. Oil light began flickering on and off intermittently on the highway heading home followed shortly after by a check engine light. I stopped and checked the stick to find that it's essentially dry. I buy the recommended oil at the gas station I'm at and add it. Just before finally arriving home the engine back to sputter and lose power accompanied by a tapping noise. Another crappy kia engine that didn't even make it to 100,000. They better fix this.

Driving on a 4 lane highway my 2015 kia Sorento died without warning and made a clicking noise when I tried to start it. I had the car towed to a local kia dealership who advised metal shavings were found in the oil, which clogged the oil filter, restricting oil flow thus causing the connecting rod bearings to break. They confirmed there was no sludge found in the engine. The car needs the engine replaced and my extended warranty is refusing to pay citing there was not sufficient oil lubrication due to low oil which caused the connecting rod bearings to break. However, the dealership advised both myself, warranty, and adjuster the car was burning oil as no external engine leaks were found. All oil changes were completed by the kia dealership whom I purchased the car from and records were provided. At no point did any warning lights illuminate on the dashboard to indicate low oil or to check engine. My 2015 kia Sorento has the gdi (or theta ii) engine which is named in multiple class action lawsuits for the same thing. I still owe on this car as I have only had for 1. 5 years and am now looking at $5,000-$7,000 in repairs.

Vehicle was under light load travelling approximately 55 mph on level ground on a state route and suffered catastrophic engine failure. It had a load banging/clacking sound and screeching then seized up bringing vehicle to a stop before I could safely pull off the roadway. Mileage at the time was approximately 100,700. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, and service determined the engine repairable and in need of complete replacement. Warranty coverage has been denied. Cost to replace the engine are $5000 for a used engine to over $6000 for a rebuilt/re manufactured replacement.
