1 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2019

I was driving my kia on back road about 40 to 45 mph and noticed a ticking sound. I pulled over to check oil, it was low but still in hash marks. I add about a half quart of oil. Restarted and still tapping but not as loud. I drove car maybe 2 miles and noised turned into a load clacking noise. I wasn't far from home and was trying to get home. I was slowing down for stop sign and car just cut off. Brakes became hard to use and I could not steer. Had car towed to house. I let it cool down and then checked all fluids, radiator and engine oil were fine. I was able to start car but it was still clacking. I had read on line if you let in idle clacking might go away, I did and it became less clacking, I drove it around the house , we have a driveway that goes around house. 3/4 of the way around it stalled again. I was unable to restart it. Had towed to shop they are saying needs new motor. The only code on computer is cam position. I have notice that kia has had a lot of issues with other engine of same year but not the 2. 0 which is the same motor with bigger pistons. I'm scared of what would have happened if I were doing 70 on a highway if this had happened. Hard braking and steering.
