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.
Been having problems with the car for over 8 months. Eats oil like no ones business. White smoke coming out of the exhaust. Every time I run the on board diagnostic, it has always said no problems exist. Today, my husband comes home from an appointment, and tells me the vehicle was running really rough, shaking the entire car. We check the oil everyday and we've tried going to two different kia dealers for our oil changes, and they never tell us anything is wrong. Now, this comes up today. I do the on-board diagnostic and it reads. "possible condition(s) with your engine control system has been detected. " schedule a full system check with your nearby kia dealer soon. The car shakes horribly. Up until this time, no shaking, some white exhaust when starting the car, but no major problems. No engine lights on, until today. We have had regular maintenance on the vehicle. It even passed smog testing. So now, after reading similar complaints, I worried, I won't be getting my car fixed.
