Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2011 Kia Motor Sportage

I have a 2011 kia Sportage. I received a recall letter from kia on 2019 that my oil pan needed replaced. The letter stated that if left unfixed it could cause damage to the engine. I took it to the kia dealer they replaced it free of charge. Several months after the car started to make a loud knocking sound from the engine. The car started to feel as if it would not fully go on excelration. I called the kia dealer several time. They notified me of a kia engine recall however told me the VIN number doesn't qualify. The service manager told me I could schedule a diagnostic test for the car but I would need to pay $150 service fee. I cancelled the appointment and scheduled with a private mechanic due to services manger telling me I am responsible for the fees. I was unable to take my car to my mechanic because the car stopped working the following morning. I was driving on the interstate and the engine starter bri make a loud knocking sound. The car just stopped on the interstate. When I pressed the gas to excelrate . I had the car towed to the kia dealer who told me the engine is stuck and was not worth replacing. My husband and I decided to leave the car at the dealership and followed up with kia consumer affairs. They 30 days later sent a letter that they will replace part of the engine but I would be responsible for the service fee around $2200 pretax. I don't feel this issue is handled appropriately. I believe the engine failed as part of the safety recall. The car is 2011 and had a defective oil pain until 2019. I believe this is what caused my engine to fail. I do not believe that kia has been honest about the recall or fairly handling the issues.

So I had pretty much a full day of driving and my manual transmission 6 speed 2011 Sportage, that until today the only problem I noticed was that sometimes to me it felt like when I up shifted or began to go into first that it wasn't going all the way into gear; and at times on the highway it wasnt accelerating normally and my gas mileage is about 50m less per tank than it has been the past 5 mo. (financed to buy as of March). According to the dealership only 1 previous owner and I'm not sure what work had been on it prior to the dealership we are buying through. So today car use in town running completely normal since 11am then suddenly around 6:30 started making all kinds of noise to me a knocking sound plus an almost like revving sound mixed in. We came straight to a gas station and checked the oil with yellow dipstick, as we are almost due for a change, added about a half a quart and started it again to run the oil thru and same sounds but louder. We then turned it back off called a mechanic friend and he came and said without taking anything apart he felt it could b a rod. I then called my mom to come pick up my 3 young kids with me to take them to her house out of the TX heat while we attempt driving home. Started it up again around 8:30 to head the half mile home and very faintly could hear still a knocking and accelerated slowly. Im mot a car genius or anything but not knowing the vehicles personal history prior to March of this year I am worried to drive on highway the 40-50 mile distance to get to the nearest kia workshop. I absolutely loved my soccer mom car until today and now im afrraid to drive it after reading the recalls. Is my vehicle a part of any recall? my clutch it new and my fuel pump as well according to the dealership we are buying through so I know it isnt that. Just want to feel safe and have my commute back to normal again. . . What's going on??.

Ive been losing oil due to a leak from oil pan, noticed as of 2/1/20 my 2011 Sportage has been making a knocking sound as well as loss of fuel economy and inconsistent idle sounds. Contacted kia with these symptoms in response to a recall 19v101000 that was issued on 2/15/2019 and asked if that was the possible issue. They told me my VIN didn't match the recall requirements and said id have to pay for any engine failure repair and that my recall work was up to date. However I do have all my recall repair paperwork and theres nothing in there regarding that kind of recall.

The engine blew up in my 2011 kia Sportage. It had just a little over 100,000 miles on it. I'm told that it is not one of the engines that have been recalled and I feel that it should be. I was driving into work and was stranded. I could hear a loud banging noise as I was driving into work. So I took it to a local mechanic and he said that the engine had blown up. I had to have it taken to my home on a flatbed.
