Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sorento

I've had my engine replaced a month after having my car when I first got it about two years ago. I recieved the letter for the current engine recall about feburary of this year. My husband and I was o the highway when the end of March 2022 when my engine started knocking and the oil light came on. I had the car taken to a kia dealship the next day (which was a Saturday) and the got back in touch with me that following Monday stating it was my engine but I would have to pay out of pocket. I have to pay for because it was at this time I learned I no longer had a warranty on my car. Prior to my husband and I taking this trip I just had my car at the dealership for an oil change. After they changed my oil the tech stated to me that my car was leaking oil and that I had to setup an appt to have it fixed. He didnt offer me the chance to get it fixed right then. About five mins after I left I called the dealership and asked them if I my warranty would cover the cost and that tech stated that he would have to contact them first and get back in touch with me. A week later is when I left to go out of town due to a death in the family. I've also asked them for a loaner car but they didnt have any to lend me and said that my warranty would remiburse me for a rental. Im upset because im still paying on a car that I cant drive and ive gotten this car from a well known dealership whom I thought was genuine to their customers.

Started going up a mountain highway and my car started jumping and immediately decreased speed. It would not go and kept skipping, like a stop and go type of deal. My check engine light starting flashing and I had to pull over. After I got my car towed it was found that the car had zero oil in it. Like bone dry but with zero leaks anywhere. The mechanic checked everything twice to make sure everything else was intact and it was. My oil light never came on and it never smoked or overheated. I had zero indication that the car didn't have oil. I was 900+ miles from my next oil change. It was like the oil evaporated into thin air. We are completely baffled as to what happened and why the car didn't have any oil in it. Because of no oil, a piston broke and the engine threw a rod and it is ruined. My car needs a whole new engine now. The mechanic stated that the only thing wrong with the car was no oil and that it was like it just disappeared because there was no oil residue anywhere.

Recently, I started to experience issues with my vehicle that included engine stalling on the highway during heavy traffic conditions and on local streets while driving with my daughter in the vehicle. Additionally, the check engine light was displayed on the dashboard. When this occurred, I immediately called the alm kia dealership to request a diagnosis of the check engine light. I arranged to take my vehicle to the atlanta west kia dealership where a diagnostic check was performed stating that, 4 part induction service, 4 part fuel injector replacement, and a 4 cylinder tune up was needed. When I recieved the estimate from atlanta west kia, I called the service department at alm kia in union city because I was perplexed that the above services were never communicated to me by my service advisor at kia union city when I took my vehicle in for an oil change on 11/11/20. (note: technicians also performed a multi-point inspection as well). My service advisor aaron austin acknowledged that he neglected to tell me that I needed the same services that atlanta west kia wanted to perform. However, he stated that if I brought my vehicle back, he would perform the same services for $569. 99. After obtaining both service estimates at the kia dealerships, I still felt very uncomfortable with the quotes from kia and decided to take my kia Sorento to an independent vehicle repair shop, tri-star automotive, in order to diagnose the problem with the check engine light. After a thorough diagnosis and analysis of my vehicle engine, tri-star automotive mechanics concluded that my engine problems were more extensive than noted at the kia dealerships. Tri-star automotive provided a detailed analysis of their findings and written estimate to repair my vehicle along with a photo of oil leaking from the #4 cylinder valve of my kia Sorento along with stating that my engine needed to replaced.

I brought my 2016 kia Sorento in the dealer for check engine light (code p0172). After the evaluated it, they said the fuel pump and fuel lines need to be replaced because it's leaking fuel into the engine and the engine needs an oil change because the oil is diluted with fuel. They said the fuel pump and fuel line is covered under the warranty but the oil change isn't. This fuel system issue is every similar to the recalls that were reported on January 17, 2019 but my car didn't fall under the recall. Could this be part of the recall?.

My vehicle began excessively using oil, no leak in spring of 2019. Took it service once I documented my oil changes in September. No answers, wanting to do an every 1,000 miles documentation at the dealership. By December, it is giving an engine code p0014, meaning the exhaust camshaft has advanced to much to go to a lower timing. Eventually the passage become clogged and causing oil flow to the phasivers to be restricted - leading to a locked engine. The only fix, a new engine. Although I am still under power train - they request I drive the vehicle 1000 miles for testing before approving however the engine code tells us further drive will lock the engine. Exactly what older models were previously recalled for. With this kia gives you no proper solution and no guarantee to cover.

The motor oil disappears it's like it just evaporates into thin air. It will be bone dry and I have no leaks. I have to check it about every 2 weeks and refill it. This has been an ongoing problem since I bought the car.

During a routine oil change, my 2016 kia Sorento had no oil on the dipstick. I've used synthetic oil with every change since buying the Sorento new. With the engine light showing up, the error code suggests replacing the intake camshaft position sensor. Symptoms that began with the check engine light included the following: revving of rpms in park, slow acceleration when trying to cross a busy highway (it stalls), and climbing into 6k rpms when going up highway inclines (hills) at 55-60 mph. And there is still the question of "where did the oil go in the first place?" there is no external leak of engine oil.
