I have taken my 2013 kia sorento to my local dealership after the latest engine recall. They replaced the dipstick,.no explanation why but the level lines are different. Recently took it back to the dealership for a grinding, vibration noise in the front end, no issue reported. The past 2 oil changes which I do every 3k.miles there has been no oil. Yesterday, I was driving, still had about 1k miles left before the 3k mile oil change and my oil light started flashing. Immediately took it to my mechanic who again said there was no oil. My car is not leaking oil anywhere.

On december 21, 2018 I called to make a appointment to have my SUV recall taken care of. They set me up with a appointment january 3, 2019 at 9:00am. Well I make it to my appointment on time and hand the keys over to the service department, they tell me it should take about 45mins to a hour. 2 hours later my SUV is done and they said it is fine and that they changed my oil. I appreciate the oil change but I just had it change not even a 1,000miles ago. Any ways, I get in my SUV and drive home, it's driving and running normal, just like it was before I brought it in, normal. Takata recall on january 4, 2019 at 8:20pm I'm driving back home from shopping at to wal-mart, when my SUV shuts off completely, my lights were still on, all the lights on the dash came on, I put my flashers on and coast to the side of the road. I put it in park, turn the SUV off, then I try to start it, would not start, so I turn it off and try again, it struggled to start but it started up. I put it in drive and countie heading home. I get 1mile and it does it again. So I did just like did the first time and same results. Finally I made it home. The next day I go to call the dealership, but I'm told the service department is closed on weekends. Well I've been remodeling my home myself and I forget to call kia, my car wasn't acting weird so I kind of forgot about it. Takata recall until january 11, 2019 7:36pm I drive to go drop my child off to his mother and I hear a taping noise under my hood, but it only made it that one time so I paid no mind to it. Takata recall january 21,2019 7:21pm I'm driving on my way home on a back road that is a short cut from where I was coming from. An I hear this little grinding noise, and then the taping noise I heard before but it was louder and it didn't stop. My check engine started flashing so I pull over and call for help. My other half said its a rod bearing.

Takara recall, monday september 17,2018 my kids read bright to a kia dealership for an oil change before leaving for a trip the following day. Tuesday september 18,2018 were left for our trip from missouri to florida for a vacation. My car had only 63,700 miles on it. We got into mississippi and stopped for gas. A few miles down the road I heard a noise in the engine, we stopped to see if maybe we had just got bad fuel and treated it for that and checked the oil, all seemed fine except for the noise in the motor. We got 5 more miles down the road and my engine made a very loud grinding noise right before our check engine light came on and my husband felt parts falling into the oil pan and we lost all power in the vehicle and we were barely able to pull off the highway. We sat in a ditch in the middle of mississippi in the 92 degree heat with my little sister in the vehicle and decided to try and get a tie truck. 45 minutes to an hour later we finally got one there and when he tried to start my car it would crank and fire but did not sound well so we immediately shut it back down. We got the kia to the dealership and they told us our motor was completely done and needed to be replaced. Now we are still waiting for a call back to see how long the motor will be on back order and when we will get our car back. I don't even know now if I want to put my child back into this vehicle for fear that it could hurt or even kill us. My husband is a 3 time liver transplant patient and a kidney transplant patient from birth until recent. This was not a very good situation to have him in in that kind of heat in the middle of a state we don't know anything about. Luckily we had just stopped at a gas station so he had some water to drink. This is not the first or last incident with this vehicle and a recall needs to be put out a.s.a.p before someone is hurt or killed.

Engine had been making a noise (humming and grinding) when vehicle was operating between 40mph and 60 MPH. Brought to kia dealer who stated it was the new tires we bought from meineke. Brought vehicle to meineke who said it was not the tires. Was driving vehicle and while exiting highway the engine shut off and had to pull off to the side of the road under 0 power. Vehicle would not start even though there was still battery power. Vehicle was towed to meineke who told me that there was no oil in the engine. We had an oil change done in may 2018 at the milford ct kia and was not due for another oil change until october 2018. The vehicle had approximately 800 more miles to reach the 3000 mile mark for an oil change also. I had the vehicle towed to milford kia who is still examining the issue. Kia stated they would check with kia motors to ascertain if this issue is covered by a current engine recall for 2013 kia sonatas.

When I put my car into reverse it makes this baring grind noise even when I am going into reverse. It continues to make this noise as I am driving. Also sometimes it will stop but then start again when I make a turn and continue making the grind or baring noise. Also if I am at a stop light and I press the gas paddle it makes this grind noise. When I looked up recall for this I had found exactly what it could be and my VIN number said it wasnt for recall. Also. I noticed when I would put my park in the park gear position it wont sometimes lock all the way. As I had read also for my car. It depends on the weather how loud it makes the noise . When it's hot its loud then cold its off and on. This happens on streets and highways. My date of happening is an educational guess. I know it was already happening when I got a recall for the oil panel thing and something else.

My 2013 kia sorento should become a part of the recall that is currently involving kia motors. We changed our oil and noticed it to be what my husband called a bit lumpy. Took our car into the local garage and they told us there was a leak on the top of the motor. We planned on fixing this the following payday, but instead left the dealership to a high pitched squeal and that was it the car never moved again. The rods were shot and caused motor to seize. Our local garage, bending wrenches believes there is evidence to support our claim. We have paid for a new engine to be placed in vehicle and are hoping to become a part of this recall and be reimbursed for this manufacturer defect. We have all paperwork from garage and also kept the oil that had been changed from the kia showing that there is probably little fleks of the metal from the rods in this oil which caused it to become lumpy. Not sure where else to turn for help with this claim.

While drive at slow speeds of about 5 to 10 MPH there is a ticking/squeaking from the right front. It goes away at higher speeds. I have been in to the dealer 4 time, reported it to kia corp. And the regional office called to tell me they are aware of the noise, it is a part issue, that over 30% of this model made in 2013 have the problem and they are working on a solution. That was several days ago. If they know there is a problem then they should be made to recall the cars and replace the parts in question.
