Then on 5/15/2023, loud knocking in engine (sounds like a loose bolt knocking around).  Took to dealer and got this quote. \"\u2022Exhaust system (Loose Parts, Visible Damage, Leaks) OBD 2 PERMANENT CODE FOR P0420- RECOMMEND CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT $10,106.27 \u2022REPLACE ENGINE - NON ISG $4,232.81\" Only has 127k miles and cannot pay this much... $14+k for a car that is worth $4k?  Crazy!  I question the work that was done in Oct 2022 and also question why it had to be done in the first place.  Something is very wrong with this engine.   It is available for inspections upon request.  My daughter's safety was compromised as she commuted with a car that has a serious engine defects.  Problem was diagnosed at dealership. It has been inspected by the Kia dealership. Engine light warning was on which is why my daughter took it to them in Oct. 2022.  Came on again in May 2023 and she took it to  dealership again as soon as she saw it which was when the knocking began.
