Description of the problem	My 2014 kia sorrento started to make knocking sound and i took it to the dealer to check out. Check engine light did not come on or any other warning signs. After checking service department said that the engine needs to be replaced and it sounds like there are metal pieces in the engine. They also said that kia sorrento 4 cylinder had the same problem and it was recalled but not the 6 cylinder. They also advised me not to drive too long because the engine may stall. They quote me $7000 to replace the engine or suggested to trade in for a different car. I brought the car home and towed it to a local mechanic and they said the same thing and asked me to call kia usa and file a complaint.
