Consumer Description

THE MAIN CRANK SHAFT PULLY BOLT STRIPPED OUT AND CAUSED THE CRANK SHAFT TO START TO WORK ITS WAY OUT OF THE MOTOR BLOCK I TALKED TO KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED AS A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A MAIN FAILURE IN THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS OF 2003 AND 2004 THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A DIFFERENT BOLT IN THE 2005 MODEL BUT IN MY OPINION THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT DO TO THE FACT IT HAS FAILED IN MY 2005 SORENTO TELLING ME THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED.
