Engine valve it's detached! car was running fine since purchased used back in oct 2019 with thirty one thousand miles. I was sold the car with the pretense of car fax and it being in good condition with only two previous owners. As of this past Monday the car was making a terrible sound from under the hood, and I had it towed to my local kia dealership this Friday. The dealership I originally purchased from have been uncooperative.

Engine is making very loud noise and not drivable. When took to kia dealership they said that same problem happened to gdi 4 cyl engine and it was recalled but not the 6 cyl even though the problems are the same due to manufacturing defect.

I have approximately 64,000 miles on my car. A few weeks ago, I noticed that it wasn't blowing warm air, and asked that the shop take a look at then when I got an oil change. They didn't notice anything wrong. I haven't really been driving it due to the stay-at-home orders, but a few days ago I was going to go to the store, and before I even left the driveway, the check engine light came on, the car was making a terrible sound, and there was a ton of white exhaust. We had it towed to the dealer, and they called to report a total engine failure. Unfortunately I am the second owner so my power train warranty expired at 60k rather than 100k.

My 2015 kia Sorento started to make a loud noise from the engine without warning as I was running errands. I was close to home and able to get the car home. We had to get the car towed to a kia dealer to get "kia diagnosed" in order to be eligible for any recall or warranty. We are second owner and 94k miles so this translates to out of warranty. Regular maintenance was preformed at the dealership where we got the vehicle. It's only 5 years old and 94k miles, I believe kia has a better reputation than this. Ultimately we have a big garage bill now in addition to putting money out to buy a temporary vehicle to use while we are stuck with pausing for this kia we cant drive. In my research I gather we are not alone in premature engine failure. I expect kia will make this right eventually. In the meantime what are we supposed to do?.

The car stalled while I was driving. No warning lights (no check engine light, temp, etc. ) or warning. I pulled over, turned it off then back on and started to hear a low knocking in motor. It ran for a few miles, then stalled at a light. I turned off then back on then made it home. At home my husband checked the oil and it looked "milky". When he tried to drive it to the kia it made a loud noise in the motor and died. We towed it to kia. Kia tells us that because the oil is ""murky" they will not uphold the 100,000 warranty (under 80,000 miles on the car). We believe the change in oil is due to a defect.

I was turning onto the hwy. When without warning or any dash light warnings my engine made a loud noise like it fell apart and I lost power pulled to side of road. Called kia they had it towed to dealership. 2 days later dealership tells me the engine spun a bearing. There is a recall for the same reason on this but they said its not on my VIN. # and it will cost $9,500. 00 to get and install a used 78,000 mile engine in it, why would I put a similar used engine in it to have the same thing happen again. My engine is 1000 miles over its warranty. Very frustrating. . . . . I looked on this site and I see a lot of people having the same problem. I'm glad I was just entering the hwy when it happened not doing the 70mph speed cause it may of had a much worse outcome. Something needs to be done to correct this thanks for reading my report.

My 2013 kia Sorento with only 108,000 miles and excellent maintenance records suddenly blew a rod from the engine block. This is extremely dangerous and scary and never have I had to replace an engine in a car with such low miles. I would please like you to investigate my specific engine failure to see if it aligns with the multitude of other recalls that the 2013 kia Sorento has issued. My car just stalled at a red light. . . 3 ignition lights came on. . . Oil pressure, battery and check engine. I turned the car over and it started. It was making a horrible sound so I pulled immediately over. The engine had already failed. I cannot understand this at all as I am religious with oil changes and maintenance. Please investigate further.

Feb. 2nd 2019 my 2017 kia Sorento stalled twice in the driveway. My husband took it for a drive and it made a loud noise upon acceleration. He suspected it was the engine and it was towed to the dealer Feb 3rd. Feb 5th the service department finally called and said the engine failed and we will need a replacement. He stated since my husband did the oil changes and did not have documentation it would not be covered under warranty. My husband always did our oil changes and never had this problem. An engine should not fail in less than 2 years and I realize this is happening to many kias. We learned our lesson the hard way and will be paying out of pocket for repairs. My car has been in the shop for 2 weeks now. There is no engines available in the us and maybe they can get one from korea but shipping takes a week once they find one and the work will take a week. So I'm paying for a car I can't drive for at least 4 weeks. So frustrating. I called the service department Feb 15th to check on the status of finding an engine for my Sorento, he stated he would check with the parts department and call me back ASAP. Still waiting.
