The vehicle developed progressive engine knock, reduced power, and check engine warnings while driving. Diagnostic trouble codes include P0017, P0014, and P0340 relating to crankshaft/camshaft timing correlation and camshaft position faults.  A Kia dealership performed diagnostic testing using Kia diagnostic equipment (KDS) and documented abnormal knock activity across all cylinders. The dealer repair order specifically states:  * \u201cFound data PIDs for additional knock noise\u201d * \u201cAll registering knock on all cylinders\u201d * \u201cRecommend replacement of engine sub assy based on knock detection\u201d  The vehicle experiences engine knocking and loss of power that create concern for sudden engine failure or stalling while driving, which could increase crash risk.  This complaint is being submitted because the symptoms appear consistent with the known Theta II engine defect involving connecting rod bearing failure, engine knock, seizure, and potential engine failure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
