Consumer Description

WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 65MPH TRIED TO CHANGE LANES BUT THE STEERING HAD GONE OUT, HAD TO TURN STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO GET IT TO TURN, ONCE I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED BENEATH HOOD THE BELTS WERE NO LONGER TURNING AND COULD SEE WHAT LOOK LIKE A PULLEY LAYING AT BOTTOM OF ENGINE. MATT CASTRUCCI KIA IN DAYTON, OHIO STATED THAT MY BOLT HAD BROKEN OFF AND CAUSED MY PULLEY TO BREAK. HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS HAPPENING ON KIA'S SORENTO, ENOUGH THAT A INVESTIGATION SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE BY NOW. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS IS INVESTIGATED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? *KB
