Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sportage

Driving typical route on freeway. Car started making a rattling noise. Became slow to accelerate. I took the nearest off ramp. Car stopped accelerating. Oil light came on. All lights came on. Car died. Engine seized. Oil and bits metal covered the inside of hood. Mechanic said something inside the engine broke apart and busted a hole through the engine block. Oil level on dipstick was normal previously and after incident.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 kia Sportage. The contact stated that when the driver drove a rattling noise emitted from the engine, and the driver drove the vehicle to an unknown kia dealer. The dealer did not performed a diagnostic. However, the dealer advised the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was not replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. Li.

My wife and I were returning from a trip; traveling at highway speeds. The engine made a weird mechanical noise and after about 10-15 seconds, knocking and rattling noises were coming from the engine. I looked at the dashboard and all my light indicators were turned on. The car stalled out as I was driving. I pulled the car over on the emergency shoulder and turned the engine off. The car never started up again.

Engine failure while driving on the highway at 60 mph. The engine started making rattling noise and all of the lights flashed and the engine died. After moving to the side of the road the engine would not restart. It was towed to a dealer who said the engine had to be replaced. This car has had oil changes every 3000 miles and only has 83000 miles on it. The dealer will replace the engine with a used engine with 68000 miles for $6300. I am concerned that the replacement engine will have the same problem. There was a recall on similar engines but this one was not included. The symptoms seem to be the same as the recall.

While driving on the highway the front end began to make a loud rattling noise. The vehicle was stopped and towed to a mechanic who informed me that the engine would need to be replaced. This issue is the same one as described in the recall sc147, however, my VIN has not been included in the recall. This recall should be expanded. The vehicle was maintained regularly and all maintenance suggested was always promptly performed. This $7,000 should be the responsibility of kia.
