Consumer Description

AFTER HEARING A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE I CALLED THE DEALER & TOLD THEM I WAS COMING IN, MY CAR STALLED ON THE WAY IN. THE DEALER SAID MY CRANK SHAFT PULLEY BOLT BROKE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY CRANK SHAFT SENSOR & MY TIMING BELT WHICH I HAD REPLACED A FEW MONTHS BACK. I AM JUST LEARNING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT KIA IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE BOLT AND REFUSES TO COVER THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE ENGINES WHEN IT BREAKS. *TR
