Recall for this same problem doesn't seem to extend beyond 2014 engines although there are numerous documented customer complaints of same problem in later year kia's. Help!.
My 2015 kia, has always make some engine noise, I did not buy it new brand and always checked out ok when I had the maintenance done on it. The noise was getting louder and more noticeable. I took it into be checked and they said my engine is failing. Kia says since I wasn't the 1 first owner on the vehicle they will not cover it, I took out an extended warranty and they are now giving me trouble about covering it since I haven't found every maintenance record, but most of them.
I was driving down the highway and began to make a strange noise and engine light came on. It decelerated and I exited closest exit. It then died at stop light. I had to have it towed and engine needed replaced.
