Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sportage

On 12-23-2020, we were coming back home after doing some grocery shopping, I was doing 70 mph on a busy highway, then suddenly heard a loud noise and car stall after that without any notice, which was pretty scary especially when driving on a fat highway and having a toddler in the back, all 3 lights came on the dash (oil, battery, check engine). Car didn't want to start after that, so I called a friend to help us get home since it was only a mile away from where we live. However, the car started an hour later but didn't drive more than 5 seconds and stalled again. I have it towed to my mechanic the next day. He inspected and didn't see anything wrong. He drove it for two days and nothing. Two weeks later after going on a trip I started hearing this tapping noise at 2000 rpm, which is coming from the engine. The car isn't leaking any oil, and it has only 99k miles, been changing oil on time, and all necessary filters. At the moment of writing this complain, no check engine light is on.

Around thanksgiving I noticed a knocking/ rattling/ clanking sound under my hood in the engine area, which occasionally increased/decreased when the rpms moved. Due to covid and not traveling I didnt drive it for a few days. I went to the store on 11/30 and the sound was louder and more startling. I had my husband check it when he got home. We noticed recalls on the vehicle but my VIN never registered. Because my vehicle is used to transport children, my husband asked me to make an appointment with the dealership ASAP to have it looked at. I made the appointment for 12/1. While on the highway to get to my appointment the sound progressively got worse - then all lights went on in the dash and the gas stopped working. It was like my vehicle was in neutral when I pressed the gas. It would not start again and the steering wheel was locked. I waited over an hour for a tow truck; on the shoulder of a busy highway, during rush hour. It was dropped at the dealer and we are currently waiting on a report as to whats wrong. We believe it falls in line with the current recalls.

Engine failed at app. 114,770 miles while in motion on a highway. Started with slight tapping sound, progressed to loud knocking sound, progressed to sounding like bowling ball rolling around in engine in a matter of a few miles no engine light or any service lights came on engine needed to be replaced - car has been serviced regularly at the dealer - never had a warning light or oil light there is a recall on this engine for many 2013 Sportages but not my car dealer informed me that they replace this particular engine on Sportages 10 times a week.

I was driving at around 55mph on the highway when I heard a clinking noise coming from the front end of my car and it stopped accelerating despite my foot pressing the gas pedal. I lost power. No warning lights went off on the display dash. The engine stalled shortly after while I was still in motion. I was luckily able to pull over safely. I tried turning over the ignition but the engine just clanked but didn't start. I had just had the oil changed and the temperature gauge did not read anything abnormal. Only after I pulled over did the engine light come on. I checked the oil and it was still full. I looked under the frame and noticed dripping oil. I noticed pieces of metal on the ground and retrieved them. (photo 1) they appear to be piston connecting rod pieces. There is currently a class action lawsuit settlement in place for issues related to connecting rod bearing wear leading to engine failure resulting in the engine seizing increasing the risk of crash, damaged pistons, and a cracked engine block with the engines in 2011-2019 kia Sportages equipped with a 2. 0l or 2. 4l gasoline direct injection engine. (engine failure and fire). I have a 2013 2. 4l. (recall number 17v224000. Kia's number for this recall is sc147) although according to the kia website, my VIN was not included for some unknown reason. Terms of the settlement include but not limited to free inspection and repair or replacement of damaged engines, lifetime warranty for short block assembly repairs, free installation of the knock sensor detection system software update (from a previous recall 17v-224), as well as goodwill compensation. The oil spilled out onto the tow truck bed during the trip to my house. I assessed the damage with my dad and noticed the hole in the bottom of the engine block. (photo 2). We realized the rod blew through the engine block.

We had the car towed to our mechanic who informed us that the engine had seized and suggested I call kia and check for recalls, I did and was told there were no engine related recalls for that VIN, our mechanic then contacted the kia dealer he works with to order a new engine and was told that there was a waiting list and would add our name, we are still waiting and now realize that the shortage is due to kia's recall "sc147" which for some reason includes all but this VIN. Same engine, same car, same problem but not on the recall. Our mechanic has all the records of preventive maintenance and scheduled oil changes that should have prevented any engine problems.

2013 kia sorento engine recall: I was driving on the freeway in southern California to visit family when I started hearing a clicking sound coming from my car. It sounded like a woodpecker and it happened each time I hit the gas. When I accelerated slightly to merge over to the right to exit the freeway when I lost power, the gas pedal didn't respond. I was able to navigate traffic and coast to a stop on the off ramp. When this happened the check oil light, battery light, and check engine light came on. I then shut off my car, put on the hazard lights, and when I tried to start my car again it wouldn't start. I had to be towed from the freeway off ramp an hour later. I keep up with the regular maintenance and this should not have happened to my car at 107,000 miles. The dealership that it was towed to told me that the engine seized up and they are not sure why, some part in the middle. . . I drive this road to visit family often and if this would have happened at another point in my journey I could have been in a very bad accident. Sometimes on this freeway there are little to no shoulders, blind corners, and very dark at night with high speed traffic. Had this happened during an uphill section I could have been rear-ended or caused an accident as I lost all power and the flow of traffic is fast.
