Why is my Kia Sportage's engine making a loud knocking noise?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sportage's engine has been making a loud knocking noise. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The loud knocking noise could be caused by a variety of issues such as worn out engine components, low oil levels, or a faulty muffler. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause.

If your Kia Sportage has high mileage, it's common for the engine to make a knocking noise. This could be a sign of normal wear and tear and may not require immediate attention. However, it's always best to get it checked out by a professional.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a loose spark plug causing the knocking noise. Make sure to regularly check and tighten all spark plugs to prevent this issue.
