| Dec 201860000 mi | Engine recall, engine replacement. Took 6 months to get it done. In my fifth year of ownership around the summer of 2018, its engine started developing some considerable cylinder knocks (with rattling noises) coming from the cylinder head area during the cold start. It will go away once the head is warmed up. But the knocks came back from the cylinders or rods area whenever the engine was shutting-off. And Kia (along with Kia North America) inspected, and they were able to confirm that its cylinder rings were damaged which resulted in the knocks/rattles. A couple years later, I received a service campaign letter from Kia. Interestingly, the letter said that I needed to bring the car in for an ECU firmware update to enhance the knock sensor's functionality. I bet that they changed the sensor's latency (i.e., to read and respond earlier by retarding the ignition sooner to avoid the cylinder heads' damage which is exactly what happened to my Sportage). Like my other KIA Optima review, I am done with KIA, period. -1/3 of oil was burned off within a month, yet I did not get a single oil level nor pressure warning light. And KIA claimed it was normal. I lost my trust in them. I got rid of the Optima in that same week. The sportage is holding up with new engine. But it now has a recall for flashing knock sensor latency. Come on KIA, a knock sensor latency issue? What decade are we living in? 90's when OBD2 was first implemented? I am so ready to quit KIA now. :( | ||
