| Description of the problem | While driving at posted highway speed, a noise developed, seemed to come from the front of car, pulled over to check the source. Seemed to be coming from the engine, quiet at idle, more like a knocking sound when reving the engine above idle rpms. No codes or warning lights visible on dash brought to kia dealer for diagnosis.. Was told the complete engine needs to be replaced, internal engine problem. Will be covered by warranty. I travel by car extensively long distances, fortunate it didn;t happen on one of my trips. This happened while summering in massachusetts. My home is in florida. |
