2022 Kia Telluride Engine Problems

Was driving heard a noise and then lost power to gas peddle and bunch of smoke and then flames coming from front of car got out and there were flames coming from hood eventually flames died down and was just smoking police &fire department were called. Piston blew through engine block these engine have a known oil consumption issue and I have kept up with oil .

I cranked my vehicle and it sounded very loud. Almost a knocking sound. After I turned it off I checked the oil.

Purchased a brand new 2022 Kia Telluride. After less than 5K miles, engine overheated and I had to stop the car in order to let the engine cool down. The coolant level was fine, I did not see any leaks, and I did not notice an smoke from the engine compartment.

For months I had been having issues with the vehicles oil consumption and the vehicle not keeping oil in it and it just buring out and having to get oil changes every month or month in a half my car begin stalling and shutting off in the middle of traffic due to the issue and now I need a new engine and the car is fairly new, I’ve kept up on my oil changes regularly and KIA refuses to fix the issues because the mileage is outside of the warranty allowance.

On July 20th, 2020 while driving our 2022 KIA Telluride at freeway speeds with A/C operating we noticed a change in humidity in the cabin. Immediately looked at the engine temperature gauge and it appeared normal. A few minutes later checked engine temperature again and once more temperature looked normal.

This is a very well known issue among all model years of the Kia Telluride. The plastic filter housing is made out of plastic and over time it ends up failing causing an oil leak. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for a aftermarket housing that was metal and not plastic that won’t fail.

The vehicle experienced catastrophic engine failure due to burning oil. At no point did warning lights or alerts appear on the dash. This failure occurred well within the terms of Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Engine has been knocking since I purchased the vehicle new. Brought it into the dealership and they couldn't hear the noise. Based on the keoporum it could either be a bad fan motor or blend door accurator.

Engine stopped suddenly while driving. Warning light (I believe check engine) came on simultaneous with failure. Had seconds to coast to side of road before car came to full stop.

We were driving down the freeway and the car overheated and power stopped. Turn our the drive belt was shredded and most of it missing. This was verified by the dealership once it was taken to them.

Plastic oil filter housing cracked after oil change around 100k miles.

Engine seized while driving down the road.

vehicle has been exhausting small amounts of smoke since 20,000 miles. between recommended oil changes, car will lose a quart or more of oil in its reservoir. there is every indication that the vehicle is burning oil.

vehicle oil change recommendation is 7500 miles. my car has burned through oil through past 4 oil changes to a very low level (almost empty) at less than 5000 miles. there was never any low oil alert sensor warning.
