Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 KIA SORENTO..CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT BROKE, STEERING WENT OUT, BELTS AND BOLT FELL OFF AND AIR STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE RESULT OF THIS PROBLEMS CAUSED ME TO BUY A NEW SENOR THAT WAS $400. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH HUNDREDS AND MAYBE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN MY STEERING WENT OUT AND I COULD BARELY TURN THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING HAD LOCKED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD POTENTIALLY INJURE SOMEONE OR OTHERS AROUND THEM..PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CASE. *TR
