I PULLED OUT OF LINE AND INTO A PARKING SPACE.  THE CAR WAS TOWED AND THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT HAD SHEARED OFF IN THE ENGINE.  UPON RESEARCHING MY OPTIONS (THE REPAIR COST IS ENORMOUS, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE JUNKED DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE) I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH SORENTOS, (EARLIER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM) BUT KIA REFUSES TO  ACKNOWLEDGE OR FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2005 MODELS.  THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE BOLT BREAKS OR SHEARS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE CAR.  A CALL TO OUR LOCAL DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAD HAD SEVERAL COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND AT THIS TIME KIA IS DOING NOTHING.  IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN EARLIER MODELS, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BY KIA.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
