Why does my Kia Sorento engine sound weird when I accelerate?

I've noticed a strange noise coming from my Kia Sorento's engine when I accelerate. It's almost like a rattling or knocking sound. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

It's possible that there could be an issue with your engine's timing or fuel system. I would suggest taking your Sorento to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out. It's always better to address potential engine problems sooner rather than later.

I had a similar issue with my Sorento and it turned out to be a loose exhaust heat shield. It was an easy and affordable fix. My advice would be to have your exhaust system checked for any loose components.

I've owned a couple of Kia Sorentos and had a rattling sound in the engine in both of them. It turned out to be a loose engine mount. If your Sorento has high mileage, this could be the cause of your strange noise.
