problem #1

Jul 092011

Sorento 6-cyl

  • 89,000 miles
In April 2010 the crankshaft pulley bolt and pin sheared off. I lost all power steering while driving 70 on the highway. Towed it to the dealership, had to pay out of pocket to fix the problem. Now in July 2011 the same thing had happened. The pin is sheared allowing the pulley to drop the belt, rendering my car inoperable. Kia dealership says it is still not covered by Kia and will cost me again to fix it.
