1 Engine Knocking Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2020

There is a knocking noise coming from my engine. I also lose power when I turn corners or when I slow down and go again. The knocking noise is not very loud but I can hear with the windows down. I took the vehicle to kia and they stated they couldnt replicate the issue. The engine was replaced for the same issue last year (2019).

2 Engine Knocking Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2020

I noticed a knocking noise coming from my engine while idling and when trying to accelerate the knocking noise was getting louder and faster then at first the noise stopped as you would drive past 40 mph or so and while breaking my engine would knock and my car would slightly jerk. I first noticed thies early morning had to drive two hours to get home with my children then around noon the car would not drive past a half miles before dying. My car will still start up but will die if driven. This happen very sudden an unexpected as my kia is well taken care of. Please help me understand what is happening with my vehicle.
