Entering expressway and engine rpm's went up considerably and engine quit. No loud noise or warning. Had it towed to my mechanic, they will look at it neat week. 82,000 miles and has been reliable up till now. We are giving it to our granddaughter next week if it is deemed reliable. Any ideas on what happened?
2013 Kia Sportage engine quit
- Thread starter FFFEMT
- Start date
Does the engine still spin over? Hopefully it just needs a fuel pump.
There was nothing when I tried to start it. All the lights on dashboard came on, but nothing else. I will post next week when mechanic figures it out. I hope it can be fixed so we can give it to our granddaughter down in Tuscan.
Fuel pump, or fuel filter clogged more than likely. Rarely but I did have the wiring harness on the back of my engine wear through and short out the fuel pump.
Hope you had the KSDS update installed before (possible) engine failure

KSDS update performed July 10,2023. Maintenance records are in order. Will see what my mechanic says next week. Thanks for reminding me about that recall. Never had anything like this happen before.
the start motor doesn't care, that should still turn over
No click, no starter operation at all? In days of old I would guess ignition switch, neutral safety/clutch switch, or starter-but these days it takes South Main Auto level diagnostic skills!
I don't think the 2.7 V6 ran that late?
OP either has the 2.4 Theta II or the 2.0T Theta II, both failure prone
Keep us updated OP, get that rental car you're entitled to
I respectfully disagree. Keep us posted @FFFEMT.

Sounds like another engine failure.
You should have-had that vehicle towed to a Kia dealership. They can diagnosis quicker and more accurately than your mechanic. They've seen a ton of these and similar failures already.
Then (if you wish) have it towed to your mechanic for repairs / block replacement.

Sportage was towed to the Kia dealer today, 11/25/24. My mechanic said engine froze. Will be waiting for results from Kia.
Make some noise. Should be getting a free engine out of this.
Granted , they will still fine something to charge you for….
So the engine reved up then quit, why did it rev up and did it over rev. Will be interested in what diagnostics show.
Just curious, how many miles on it?
