Why does my Kia Sorento engine make a knocking noise?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sorento's engine started making a knocking noise. I'm worried that this could be a sign of a major issue. Can you tell me why this is happening and what I should do about it?

The knocking noise could be caused by a number of factors. It could be due to worn out engine bearings, low oil pressure, or even a problem with the fuel injectors. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it diagnosed and repaired if necessary.

It's possible that the knocking noise is coming from a loose or worn out drive belt. You may also want to check the power steering fluid and make sure it's at the correct level. If the problem persists, take your car to a mechanic to have it checked out.

Another common cause of knocking noise in Kia Sorento engines is a faulty timing chain or tensioner. If this is the case, it's important to have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Bring your car to a mechanic to have it inspected and fixed.
