Why is my Kia Sportage making a loud noise when I accelerate?

I've noticed that whenever I press on the gas pedal, my Kia Sportage makes a loud noise. It almost sounds like a grinding or scraping sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Holly, it sounds like you may have an issue with your exhaust system. This could be caused by a loose or damaged muffler or exhaust pipe. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic as soon as possible to get it checked out and repaired.

Hey Holly, another possibility could be a problem with your transmission. If there is an issue with the gears or the clutch, it could cause a loud noise while accelerating. It's best to have a professional look at it to diagnose and fix the problem.

Hi Holly, I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a clogged air filter. When the filter gets dirty, it can cause a loud noise while accelerating. Try replacing it and see if that solves the problem. If not, then it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.
