Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sorento

Vehicle started to make knocking sound when driving. They knocking got louder with acceleration. Took vehicle home and checked the engine and oil. Everything seemed ok but the knocking sound continued. Had vehicle towed to kia dealership and found out a rod in the engine went out causing the entire engine to go out and fail on the vehicle. This was addressed in a previous recall regarding the ecu, but it did not prevent the engine from going out.

Takata recall 1 month ago I picked my son up from school. . . As I was pulling out of the parking lot I was unable to accelerate by pushing the gas pedal. I coasted home going 8 miles per hour. I turned the vehicle off and let it sit for 2 days. When I got back in it everything was working fine. 2 weeks later I went to have my oil changed and was told there were metal shavings in my oil filter, there were 2 inches of sludge and the oil was black. I keep my vehicle serviced regularly because I commute to work. They changed my oil and I left. 10 minutes later I was on the side of the road. I was driving to the store and again I couldn't push the gas pedal to accelerate and a knocking sound appeared. As I tried to pull to the side of the road I look in my rear view mirror to see a white cloud of smoke coming from my car. So thick I couldn't see behind me. I coasted into a parking lot and at this point I had no control of the steering, gas pedal, or breaks. I finally rolled to a stop outnit in park and got out of my car. Every drop of oil they had put in my car was on the pavement. I called a tow truck and we found a huge hole in the oil pan where my engine had apparently thrown a rod. There are 6 recalls on the year make and model of my car but not specifically on my VIN. Everything that has gone wrong involves those recalls and kia isn't owning up to it. My brother works for true car and ran a report finding that there are recalls on my vehicle but kia is saying it is inaccurate. I have the report in my possession and they wouldn't allow me to send it to them for proof.

On September 3, 2018, while driving our Sorento, there was a loud knocking noise that started under the hood. We pulled up the uvo information on the dash and it did not display any errors. Drove the car home and had to have the car towed the next morning to the nearest kia dealership. After having to provide 12 months of receipts for oil changes, kia agreed to cover the engine under their warranty. Waited months to get a new engine after being told 6 different dates that the engine would be in, we finally got our car back on January 16, 2019. After we picked up the car, we drove it home and the car hesitated and turned itself off and coasted. It turned itself back on and we drove it back to the dealer and here we are waiting for an update the next day. We have also had 5 different rental cars due to this. Our car is not part of a recall by the way.
