Why is my Kia Soul making a knocking noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Soul and noticed that it is making a knocking noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the engine area. I'm not sure what could be causing this, and I'm worried it could be a serious issue. Can anyone offer some advice and potential solutions?

Hi Hannah, it's possible that your Kia Soul could have a faulty engine mount. This could be causing the knocking noise as the engine is not securely in place. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to have it checked out and potentially replaced. It's always better to get it looked at sooner rather than later.

Hey Hannah, another possibility could be that your Kia Soul's exhaust system has a loose or damaged component. This can create a knocking noise when the car is accelerating. I would suggest having a mechanic inspect the exhaust system to see if any repairs or replacements are needed.

Hi Hannah, have you checked your oil levels recently? Low levels of oil can cause knocking noises in the engine. Make sure to check your oil and top it off if necessary. If the knocking noise persists, then it could be a more serious issue and you should have it looked at by a professional.
