My wife and i were on the 91 freeway in light traffic and came to the end of the freeway which becomes artesia blvd in gardena, ca. we were sitting at the light at the end of the freeway and we heard this really loud knocking noise so i shut the engine off. i restarted the engine and it was ok for several minutes then all of a sudden we heard this really loud noise like the engine was being opened with a can opener and this was while in motion on surface streets going about 45 miles an hour. (that's what we thought to best describe the noise). when you press the accelerator it becomes much worse and the car shakes so we parked it and towed home due to the time. i have yet to have it towed to the dealer due to it being late and the weekend. but a friend of mine who's a mechanic said it's definitely the engine and he's leaning towards the barrings and pistons somewhere along those lines. i have kept regular maintenance on it since we got it like changing of fluids, oil things like that since we purchased it on 04/17/2019. we have had other minor things like the locks on the driver side door you have to do manually and the rear hatch doesn't lock and you can open it even with the alarm on, suspension system is a little loose and probably has issues also. transmission is slipping also. there's all of the same year same model same engine that are on the recall list but from what we're gathering ours isn't. i am not quite understanding this because we're positive this is the same issue as the other ones recalled.

Brought my vehicle back to dealership for kia recall sc148. tech applied silicone, a 'suggestion' in recall. if problem persists, which it did in our case, rear wheel hubs need replacing. when brought in originally for recall, vehicle had 84,972 miles. stability control warning lights on dash stay lit. car is now over 100k miles and dealership says it is out of warranty. repair will cost us $982 now. no one from kia corporate ever returns my phone calls, numerous calls. my case #is 13183158 from kia.
My airbag lights going on and off when it wants to , sometimes when starting it will stay on , or you will driving it will come on , when you turn the wheel it comes on, also many times been reported to dealer a popping noise going on, dealer says they cant find issue '..
My 2014 kia sorento started having axil problems just recently. i am well aware that this was a problem with front wheel drive and their were recalls of that same year make and model. mine is awd and this should be included as this only started happening at 60k.
I have a 2014 kia sorento sxl 3.3 ltr v6 with 119, 952 miles on it. on 11/26/2018 after pulling in the drive way and existing the car i smelled what i believed to be an antifreeze smell.my car did not have any warning indicators on and my temperture gauge was normal. i took my car to dobbs on 11/27/2018, paid $30.95 and told it was leaking head gaskets which cost $4500-$5000 to repair. i decided to call kia consumer affairs and had my car towed to a kia dealership for diagnostics and they decided i needed a motor, the cost would be $7600. i then called consumer affairs back and was told by the agent she would submit a request for a goodwill repair. kia agreed to replace my motor as the technician diagnosed, but i am responsible for labor at $140/hour for 21.4 hours. i really appreciate kia replacing the motor, obviously due to some type of defect.wondering if there will soon be a recall on it. i've had 2 steering columns installed, alternator, lower oil pan and still a popping noise. i was told on the 4th time of complaining to dealer services, they tighten an axle nut. well the nut must be loose again because the popping is back. could this be a problem with the axle which has been recalled on other models?should my motor also have been a part of the motors most recently recalled. could my strut have started leaking due to an adequate amount of corrosion substance not being applied ? i replacind my struts,rotors, breaks and 4 new tires. i love my car, this is my second kia.i am greatful, but a little disappointed about paying $3000. my 2 month old daughter passed away in her sleep on march 15. 2017 and left me with the stress of losing her, funeral cost and now this. i am a single mother; therefore money is tight. cars similar to mine have caught on fire due to faulty motors and that is really a scary thought.
Back up camera stopped working and just shows a black screen sensors still work but that is all. also when i turn the car hard right or left it sounds as though the tires are hitting the wheel well with a loud crunchy thud
Everytime i put the car in drive it makes a harsh banging noise. it also decides to just shut off as soon as i press on the gas or slow down after i've already started going on city streets i can also hear and feel clicking under driver's side floor board as i'm turning into drive ways,parking spots etc. this is an everyday thing that started last year.
