I am the secondary owner of a 2013 kia Sorento, with 45,000 miles and the 2. 4 l theta 11 mpi engine. After working on March 2nd 2018, I started the car to go home and heard a very loud clanking noise. It was so bad I called to have it towed home because it was way to late to have towed to a dealer. Here comes the bad news. Kia mechanics came back to tell me I had thrown a rod and the engine was ruined. What? at 45,000 miles? how is that possible? well at least I have a warranty right. Oh no. Turns out I am 14 days past the 5 year warranty. Because I am not the primary owner the $6185 bill to fix it would have to come from my pocket. I called kia corporate pleaded my case and got a case # to see if they could do anything about my situation. After 2 weeks in limbo and over $400 in rental bills. Kia came back with nope, to bad not under our warranty and the recalls for the same problem on the Sorento engines don't cover your car because it was made in the georgia plant and not the iowa plant. So kia will only take part blame for these same engine problems. And every one who has a blown engine not made in iowa is out of luck with a huge repair bill. Well there is a class action lawsuit for the kia's with the gdi engines. Any one thinking we should do something about the cars they are trying to sweep under the rug. Email me. I need a new hobby. Still in limbo with no car. Zippitydoome@aol. Com.

5/30/2017 I was driving and I was merging onto the freeway so I gave my car about half throttle and as soon as the car started to accelerate the engine stopped accelerating while my foot was still on the gas and all of the light went on on my dashboard and the engine completely shut off. The rpm's dropped completely but everything else stayed on, lights,steering,brakes,interior electronics, everything but the engine itself remained on. I went to start the car after I came to a complete stop and it make some weird ticking noises before it actually turned on and it idled, but as soon as I gave it some gas the engine shut off.

My car has worked fine up until the very moment this occurred. I was driving on the highway at 60 mph when it started making clicking noises. It became very hard and heavy to drive. Not more than 15 miles later I was able to exit and the moment I turned right the engine began to shake, the power steering no longer worked, and the car shut off. Thank goodness I was able to glide into a parking lot or a major accident and injuries could have occurred. There are metal shavings in my oil and the bearing completely fell out of my car. I went back to pick up all the pieces (see picture attached) no engine light has ever come on. I have never missed an oil change. This car is only 6 years old with 67,000 miles on it.

Purchased 2013 kia Sorento brand new on 6/11/12, car was shaky and idled roughly on & off during the first year, seems to have resolved itself. On 12/22/14 while driving 35 mph on secondary road engine began to make a ticking sound. Parked vehicle and had it towed the following day on 12/23/14 to kia dealership, they called me that afternoon and told me it was the oil control valve and it was ordered and requested for overnight and car would be done on 12/24/14. I called dealer on 12/24/14 @ 11:03am and part wasn't in yet was told that I'd be called when part arrived. Received call from dealer at 2pm that part had arrived and been installed by tech but that engine was still making ticking noise, so not fixed. Was told that they would have to start over again on Friday 12/26/14 with request to kia warranty service for approval for "engine tear down", which I will also have to authorized and agree to pay $400. 00 for (waived if all repairs are covered by warranty). This vehicle only has 53000 miles on it and has been driven for 30 months, all regular maintenance schedules followed and there should no way be an internal engine problem on a properly built engine. Kia has some serious issues with the engine in this car and should have recalled the entire line of 2013 Sorento's and corrected the problem. I was told by the service department at the dealer that " we may be looking at a new engine". I hope not, even though I could have a almost 3 year old car with no mileage I don't want one, if the first engine has this serious problem what would the second engine have. I am going to do everything in my power to hold kia responsible and make them cover under warranty.

The car makes a bad ticking noise mostly when start up and it gets so bad that sounds like my engine head wants to blow. And everytime I start the car the biggest cloud of smoke comes out the exhaust can cover an entire parking lot with smoke its very embarrassing. Theres an electrical problem with the windows and the switches. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I think my car also missing rear suspension shock absorbers. My oil levels get so low that the check engine light and oil sensor light don't even come on to warm me. I mean my car looks new but has internal defective problems. I read online an entire article about the kia Sorentos that kia sold were defective. I do not want to be next in a serious accident. . Read more...

This contact is reporting about 2013 kia Sorento. I was driving slowly and I heard a noise. It sounded like a rubbing or popping nose. I called and made an appointment. I also complained about the stalling I felt when I was driving 20-30 miles an hour. The mechanic stated yes I noticed that but I think it is the eco system which saves gas. I said cant we turn it off? he stated he did not know. He ordered the part (strut top bearing) for the popping sound, gave me the note he wrote, and it did not say a word about the stall. . However, when I drove off the lot and figured out how to turn off the eco system the car stalled worse, it feel t as if the car was having issues shifting in to gear. This is so awful, I am paying 26,000 dollars for this car and it is my first car and here I am having issues already. . . It also feels like it is veering to side to side when I drive it, but the mechanic stated he was not able to duplicate the problem.

@ 62,894 miles: driving from gas station to home less than 1 mile away, engine made noise and started running rough. Parked car overnight, then drove about 3 miles to closest repair shop.
