Engine Failure problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sportage

Engine failure 113,000 miles, no warning, no lights. Engine knocking when idling.

I was driving on the freeway at 65 mph and my car started to slow down, my car just slow down and wouldn't go fast anymore I pulled off to the side of the road to see what is the problem. When I turned on the car it would not start up anymore it just died on me. The next day I took my vehicle to aaa to have it checked, and they told me it's an engine failure. I went into kia dealership told them about the I was having with the vehicle I asked if my vehicle is under an engine recall? they told me no.

Engine had a knocking in it. Took to a garage and was told engine had failed at 128,000 miles and needs a new engine. Called kia and was told not on recall even though two other engines for this year are recalled due to early engine failure. Hoping this model engine will soon be on the recall list also.

I was on the interstate driving around 70 miles per hour my car died as in stopped in front of a semi! my car has been serviced regularly and had no problems -nothing-no noise it just died. We are lucky I was not killed. Car was towed to cookeville kia they said it was internal engine failure possible rod bearing. He told us it would cost around $7000 to fix. I still owe 4000 on my piece of crap of a car that only had 130,000miles on it. I have had a few nightmares from the ordeal and in general, I'm kinda scared to drive even a few days later. I am so disappointed I was told it's not under recall but however I keep seeing the same year and car on all kind of websites with the same problem. The only thing good about this situation is that my children were not in the car with me. I will never purchase another kia! -kim taylor.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 kia Sportage. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle experienced catastrophic engine failure and the vehicle stalled. In addition, the oil, engine, and various other warning indicators and gauges illuminated and flickered. The contact was able to coast the vehicle off to the side of the road, but it could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (commonwealth kia, 2 commonwealth dr, lawrence, MA 01841, 978-683-5000), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 17v224000 (engine and engine cooling), although the dealer indicated that the failures were the same. The manufacturer expected the dealer to replace the part and repair the vehicle. The vehicle was also excluded from NHTSA action number: rq17003 (engine). The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Abrupt catastrophic engine failure- I was driving approximately 75 mph on interstate I-80 heading westbound in wyoming at approximately milepost 77. The car suddenly began shaking for about one second and then a large short puff of black smoke. The car then immediately shut off and the oil, engine, and battery warning lights turned on. Luckily I was able to safely pull over to the side of the freeway. The temperature gauge was in the normal range. I got out of the car to inspect what the problem was. I notice a significant amount of engine oil dripping from the engine and that engine oil had sprayed over various parts of the car. I did not try to restart due to the significant amount of oil loss. I was in a remote location with poor cell phone reception. I had to climb up a nearby hill to contact roadside assistance. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest town to spend the night. I then had the vehicle towed to a kia dealership first thing in the morning. After the kia dealership inspected the vehicle, they stated that there was a hole in the engine block and the engine needed to be replace. I had the vehicle serviced regularly with full synthetic oil. I also checked the oil and fuel levels before I left on my trip 4 days earlier and they were all at normal levels and the oil was a normal color.

Total engine failure while driving. After diagnoses dealer said we need a new engine at a cost of $ 11,000!.

2. 4 gdi engine recall was not extended to my vehicle but engine failed while driving in freeway for same failure reason as other 2013 vehicles recalled and now am facing an engine replacement on a vehicle with 61k miles. No warning lights illuminated prior to engine failure and all maintenance completed on time.

As I was driving down the highway at about 70 mph my rpm dropped to 0, check engine, oil and battery lights all came on and my speed dropped to about 35 mph in a matter of seconds. I was able to pull over and shut the car off, it would not restart. State police were on the scene within a half hour, setting up flares, and I had to have the car towed only to be informed that it was in complete engine failure. My 2. 4l engine was not included in the recall, as kia so quickly informed me when I tried to get assistance, and my warranty had expired exactly 3 months 22 days prior to the engine failure. Kia has offered no help whatsoever, if they return my calls, so I am now expected to put a new engine in a car that is 5 years old with only 55,000 miles on it, out of my own pocket. Car was maintained, routine oil changes, absolutely no reason for this failure. Mechanic has stated finding a used engine to fit my model has been extremely difficult, as this seems to be a reoccurring issue with all Sportage models.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 kia Sportage. While driving 30 mph, the engine failed. The contact pulled into a drive-thru and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine seized. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

We believe its part of known recall "sc147", in which kia is aware of theta engine failure rod knock. Vehicle was in motion, stopped to fill tank and knocking began, dropped it off at nearest kia dealer. Next day went in for warranty service and Kia Motors America, not thr dealer, denied warranty because vehicle was purchased in puerto rico and they claim they cannot see VIN # which has nothing to do with warranty. We are the original owners, pr is recognized as united states both through the constitution and jurisprudence under the supreme court of the united states. Kia motors America can confirm via pepe abad kia or motor ambar of pr that we are the original owners and vehicle is under warranty terms.

My 2013 kia Sportage has engine failure at 60100 miles. Stalled on freeway twice trying to get it home after hearing a sound in engine. For some reason my kia VIN number is not included in the kia engine recall and it is going to cost me thousands to get repaired.

2013 kia Sportage engine failure in June of 2017. I was driving the vehicle eastbound at 75mph on interstate 10 bear blythe, az in significant traffic. The engine shut off and power steering failed. I able to avoid a collision but spun out into the interstate median. I had the vehicle towed to a kia dealership in avondale, az. Kia dealership confirmed the engine had seized. Kia denied warranty coverage for engine claiming it is not part of the kia engine safety recall campaign sc147. Kia claims the engine was manufactured in korea so it is not included. However, there are at least 6 other "not covered" Sportage's parked in service lot awaiting repair. Service manager reported to me that kia is denying the coverage when he "knows" the engine problem is caused by a defective manufacturing process.
