Engine stoped

Kia Sorento 2015  71000 miles
While taking off from stop light engine started knocking. Pulled over ,no engine light on, oil ok, tried to drive home slowly as it didn’t knock going slow. Then engine quit. Towed to Kia dealer. They said it could be cause from sludge due to missing 10 oil changes. I said no they did first and last change and I have proof of oil changes and correct weight oil. A Kia mechanic at a different dealer told us there was a service recall on them. Called Kia they said it wasn’t for that engine. Waiting to see what dealer finds and if they fix it.

Kia agreed to put in new long block at kia s expense. Dealer said where some of engines were made there was metal shaving that got into engines.

At first they told me it was only 2013-14 models. Don’t know what your mileage was at the time. We had proof of oil changes and only about 70000+ miles so we they had to cover. We found out about recalls/ service adjustments as they call them in the Kia/ Hondai engines. Know that the later also owns or has stock in Kia! Good luck if you changed oil as book says to. If so forget dealer and call California hdqts.

If the warning light is still on after replacing the speed sensors, there could be a problem with the ABS system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the ABS system. The ABS system is responsible for maintaining traction and stability while braking. If there is a problem with the ABS system, it could cause the warning light to come on. You can check the ABS system by having a mechanic diagnose and repair any issues that may be present.
Check the parking brake. The parking brake is responsible for keeping the vehicle stationary when it is parked. If the parking brake is not functioning properly, it could cause the warning light to come on. You can check the parking brake by releasing it and making sure it is fully disengaged.
Check the wiring and connectors. If there is a problem with the wiring or connectors in the ABS system or parking brake, it could cause the warning light to come on. Check the wiring and connectors for any loose, damaged, or corroded wires. Make sure all connections are secure and free of any visible damage.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

Stalling, flashing lights no computer code

Kia Sorento 2023  20000 miles
I was driving down the road and stopped at a stop light. Kia sorento stalled. All lights on dash started flashing. Messages stated to our car in drive, out car in neutral, etc. I tried to restart and each time I put the car in drive the car stalled. Towed car. Car would not unlock or turn on. Kia couldn’t even get the doors open. A few daysater the got in the car and it drove perfectly and they stated they could not find anything wrong.
