After i have been driving my car for about ten minutes, it starts to make a metallic popping sound. it is more noticeable when i am driving under 30 mph or when i am coming to a stop. i have been unable to identify the source of the sound and i am concerned that it is related to the engine.
Had phone charging and a gps system to travel ,directions. 3/4 of the way both stopped working 100%. never were charged either. then at the place needed to go ,overnight the battery must have died as the clock and radio were reset to 12:00 etc... the usb and round chargers still did not work. battery was checked and was perfect. do not know what caused all this mess. terrible when needed it all. this happen when in motion but then stationary still nothing.
My son was driving home and was going about 55 mph on ar hwy 62. the road narrows down from two lane to one right by a bluff when the motor without warning, threw a rod in the middle of the highway and shattered the engine. absolutely no where to pull over. he was very lucky not to be hit as he couldn't give any notice to the vehicles behind him. we always made sure to change the oil and make sure everything was in top notch. come to find out the oil wasn't making it to the engine. kia should include this in their recall as their other engines have had major engine failures on the same engine in other vehicles. what would be even better is if they replaced it because another engine would do the same thing. since this engine is in pieces now! unfortunately i it's not even fully paid for. it has since become a $10,000 yard ornament. so thankful nobody was hurt but kia should be held responsible. i'm sure we are not the only ones who have had this happen.
Made a turn at approx 12 mph. car bumped into neutral when groceries tipped over. heater, radio, and engine all quit. could not be restarted, vehicle had zero power. stranded in intersection. towed to repair, informed engine had seized due to over-revving in neutral. had zero power, could not over-rev. kia and warranty company refusing any responsibility or coverage. being told it needs a new engine and a new starter. estimated repair $8500, more than twice bluebook value. i see after research this is a common problem with kia vehicles of this era. approx. 83000 miles, all service up to date. i notice on the aul report the amount of wear on the engine, and the description of the damage using words like "heavily scored and worn to copper backing." i find it hard to believe this kind of damage could have been done in the minute or so the car was in neutral, especially since driver was aware of what had happened. (she saw the groceries tip over and hit the shifter).
Nov 7 2016 was stopped at a light on a main street with two car lengths between me and person in front, due to the heavy volume of traffic. i was hit in the rear, end by an suv, then slammed into the car in front of me, and sent back again and slammed the car that initially hit me. my air bags did not deploy. was seriously injured in crash with long term effects.
a humming sound / and vibration is coming from engine compartment & does not coincide with engine rpm. faster the speed the louder it gets the loudest @ 45mph. sound is like a small motorcycle it's next to you. have already rotated/balanced tires & didn't help. it is almost a transmission whine but it doesn't change w/ shifting or when in neutral
