Consumer Description

TIMING BELT SERVICE PERFORMED BY KIA DEALER ON 3/1/2010 @ 77105 MILES. ON 5/22/2010, NOTICED BRAKE WARNING AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS ON WHILE ON HIGHWAY. PULLED ONTO NEXT OFF-RAMP, AND NOTICED NO POWER STEERING.

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT HAD SHEARED OFF AT THE THREADS INSIDE THE CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET. *TR
