CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT SHEERED OFF AND THEN THE PULLEY FELL OFF BUSTING THE POWER STEERING PULL COMPLETELY OFF. MAKING ME ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL AND FLYING OFF THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH WITH MY CHILD WITH ME, VERY SCARY. CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE IT WAS THE BOLT THAT BROKE THE BOLT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY WORK. REPLACED ALL BY MANUFACTURE ON JULY 16TH 2012. COSTING $1,300. THIS LAST WEEK ON FATHERS DAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO GET HIS DAUGHTER AND THE BOLT SHEERED OFF AGAIN AND IT IS LESS THEN 12 MONTHS SINCE THIS HAPPENED BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES, WE WERE 1,000 MILES OVER AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS OUR PROBLEM AND NOW WE HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW ENGINE THIS TIME. OUR CAR WAS FIXED BY PORTLAND KIA AND NOW ITS AT WASHINGTON KIA, WASHINGTON KIA IS SAYING THAT PORTLAND DID IT INCORRECTLY AND THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT BUT PORTLAND KIA IS NOT TAKING ANY FAULT FOR OVER TORQUING THE BOLD WITH 130 POUNDS OF A TORQUE. *TR

Complaints allege that while refueling the vehicle, fuel can spill out or spit back from the fuel filler port on model year (MY) 2003 Kia Sorento vehicles (subject vehicles).Consumers report that the spilled fuel can splash on the person fueling the vehicle, or on the side of the vehicle and the ground.The subject vehicles are equipped with an evaporative emissions control system that, among other things, manages air exchange between the fuel tank and the atmosphere in an environmentally safe manner.The system consists of a vapor canister, various control valves and tubing, and a canister filter (fuel tank air filter) through which the air that flows in and out of the fuel tank must pass.Kia's testing found that if the canister filter becomes significantly clogged, excess pressure can build up in the fuel tank and cause fuel to spit back from the filler port during refueling.Kia has stated that the canister filter requires regularly scheduled service maintenance; however, the component is not listed as a maintenance item in the owner's or service manual for the subject vehicles.ODI notes that Kia does list the filter on the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual for MY 2005 and newer Kia Sorento vehicles.To address the issue of fuel spit back during refueling, Kia will conduct a service campaign of approximately 86,000 MY 2003 and 2004 Kia Sorento vehicles.The campaign will provide a one-time replacement of the canister filter, at no cost to the owner.Kia will begin notifying the affected owners in late January 2012 and will inform the owners that the filter must be serviced at regular intervals.Kia will also provide an updated service maintenance schedule.Consumers should refer to the service campaign bulletin number SC092 available in the investigative file.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that no safety-related defect exists.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.
