What is your question?
Timing chain makes loud noise on cold start. Does this mean the timing chain is going out?
How long has your 2016 Kia Sorento had this problem?
A month

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. I do not see any "bulletins" issued for timing chain noises or a noise on cold start. You did not mention which engine your Sorento is equipped with - can you share that? How do you know it is the timing chain making the noise on a cold start? Have you verified oil level and condition and a recent oil change using a Kia original equipment filter? I would suggest having a shop near you evaluate your concern first hand, as noises can be tricky to troubleshoot based on guesswork alone. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
