Was driving on state highway while passing slower moving vehicles. car shut off while moving at 60-65mph while overtaking vehicles. pulled off to the side of the highway as far as possible as the car had shutoff completely. tried to restart the car and the car would not begin the starting process at all. it sounded like a semi-grinding noise and click. had the vehicle towed to mechanic and they have determined that the engine seized and is 'blown'. car has approximately 85k miles.
The issue is the engine it's burning the oil and one of the recall that this vehicle has been a knocking sound in the engine and thats the problem that i'm having. the problem occurred in the road when i smelled the burning oil. now my mechanics says that i have to replace a engine that only is 6 yrs old
The engine light came on and my car started shaking, knocking, and decelerating as i tried to pass another vehicle.
Today i was driving to my parents house on a long straight away highway (55mph speed limit). i began passing another vehicle and as soon as i got around him my check engine light, oil light, and battery light came on. i promptly pulled over on the side of the road and shut the car off. i checked oil level, which was fine. no obvious over heating, smoke, or leaks. i decided to turn the car back on to see if the lights were still there but the car wouldn't start. it was completely dead aside from one tiny crank noise then nothing. luckily someone stopped and we got the car started by jumping it. went to the local parts store and my battery, starter, and alternator all checked out ok. no further lights or issues the rest of the day. not sure what happened but i'm scared to drive it long distance now. never had an issue with this car before this.
Engine light came on along with oil filter light only weeks after oil change and knocking sound became clear in my engine area. vehicle has also shut off in the middle of driving.
Engine oil burnout - within 3 weeks of a fresh oil change the oil completely burned out of the crank case / 2 oil changes performed within 3 weeks , no oil leaks or smoke from exhaust , vehicle was in motion and immediately herd a knock and pulled over and shut vehicle off before any major damages could occur

Purchased vehicle a year ago and already problems with engine. several months ago while on highway my engine began to seize and i had to coast the vehicle carefully to the side of the road. thought problem was resolved then again as preparing to turn onto my street through an intersection the engine seized again. when this happens i cannot accelerate. this was very scary as i had my 2 young girls in the car with me the second time this happened. i quickly put the car in park, turned off ignition and turned back on after a few seconds. the car started up right away but then a loud clicking/rattling sound began and has not stopped making sound since. at this point i believe it is a problem with the engine which i have been reading is a common problem with kia.
Malfunction indicator light has ignited 3 times, blinking continously, placing my vehicle into limp home mode. kia refuses to replace the knock sensor or engine.
Purchased a used 2014 kia sorento showing 106k miles. test drive with the salesman for about 6 miles various types of roads. very impressed with the car, performed well. purchased it saturday afternoon just prior to the used car dealer closing. after paperwork and plates done, drove it toward home. about 4 miles from dealer (interstate highway) saw the temperature guage climbing into the hot area. no other errors or lights came on. let off on gas to pull over and temp guage came down to normal. continued with caution thinking this was a faulty guage or sender unit. limped home slowly. noticed going up hills and pulling hard temp would climb. letting off gas temp would drop to normal. long story short got the car to a very reputable and experienced garage. engine couldn't be repaired economically. dealer did offer money back. as much as i didn't want to, wound up having to install another used low milage v6 engine. during the month in the garage i had done much research & digging & talking often with the very experienced mechanic in charge of the job. coolant was low and all but two of the head ...
The car was running perfectly fine never had an issue with it. it randomly started knocking/ making a loud noise from the engine and shut off as i was d with my two kids. when i tried to start it back up it continually shut off, it would not stay running. it was running at normal temperature when i pulled over and turned the car off then turned the ignition back on then it showed hot on the temperature gauge. this all started in san bernardino california. i did not understand what the problem was, so i started looking up problems with a kia sorento and found this form.

10/16/2019 i was driving at highway speed when i heard a loud thunk or bang. my car lost power and i pulled to a stop on the side of the highway. as i was stopping the engine and oil lights flashed on. there was smoke coming from under the hood and within 5 minutes, the smoke had increased and flames were coming from under the hood. i was able to escape before the entire car was engulfed in flames. the fire department extinguished the fire and the car was towed to salvage where insurance called it a total loss
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 ...
