The issue may be due to a design problem with all Kia engines.   Here's what the service technician at the Kia dealership told me:  1) There is a pin on the cam shaft that keeps it in place;  2) Over time it moves, and gets sheared off;  3) When the pin is sheared off, the cam shaft spins out of time;  4) That causes the valves to slam into the pistons and bends the valves;  5) After the valves are bent, the engine has no compression;  6) The engine needs to be replaced or the car needs to be junked.  The service tech says he had seen it happen quite a bit with all Kia models. In other words, it's a design flaw. There are other ways to keep the cam shaft in place, which are used by other manufacturers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
