Consumer Description

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MADE A TURN ON TO A STREET AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND ENGINE CUT OFF AND POWER STEERING HAD QUIT WORKING. IF I WAS GOING FAST WOULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK. I GOT IT STOPPED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND A BELT WAS LOOSE AND THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT WAS LAYING THERE BROKE OFF.CALLED KIA AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY FOR THAT. I HAVE 92,500 ON MY SUV AND THE POWERTRAIN IS FOR 100,000 MILES BUT THEY SAY A BOLT IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE READ ONLINE - THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. NOW HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED. SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED... ALSO THEY SHOULD RECALL ABOUT THE HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS - THEY HAVE TO HAVE A BULB REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. *TR
