I was driving the car and then it slowed down to 40 mph and cut off on the highway. I cranked it back up and it made a weird noise. I called a tow truck. Took it to the shop and they said the engine needs to be repaired. There is no way that it should be having motor issues. The oil has always been changed on time. Also I have to change the headlight bulbs on the left and right.
I experienced a sudden engine failure on August 27, 2017 on my 2015 kia Sorento lx with 28k miles. The engine type is a theta ii 2. 4l gdi. The complete engine failure happened without warning while driving 65 mph on an interstate. The car immediately lost all acceleration capabilities. There were no warning displays or unusual noise/movement beforehand. It was a very dangerous situation and fortunately I was able to get to the shoulder and avoid any severe safety issues. The car was towed for a nearby kia dealership in new jersey and they diagnosed the engine failure. Kia has acknowledged this engine problem and they paid for a remanufactured engine and car rental costs for a nearly two-week period. The newly installed engine is only under warranty for 10 years from the original purchase date, not the date of the remanufactured engine installation. The car's service has been up to date and I've had no previous issues with the car. Why has this engine problem not yet been recalled for 2015 Sorentos? it's likely a very similar problem to the kia engine recalls earlier this year. The kia dealership in new jersey indicated that they replace dozens of new engines a month, including on many new 2017 and even 2018 models. Does someone need to be killed for action to be taken?.
