second crankshaft bolt failure
1. Sorento Model: 2005
2. Type of Bolt (Gold/Gray) : no idea, but assume it was gold
3. Speedo in Km/Miles the Bolt Broke 2nd Time : 42,600 m
4. Schedule Maintenance before breakage: 30,000 m
5. Current Speedo Reading Km/Miles : 42,600 m
Multiple breakage
This time the dealer wil machine out the bolt, but I will have to wait a week for a machinist to be available. The Service Management at my dealer has been great, but I confirmed today with Kia Consumer Affairs my Sorento was never on the crankshaft bolt recall. Last bolt incident they put in a short block, at 12,100 miles I had a #3 cylinder misfire and got a new long block - I haven't checked all my paperwork (all repairs even oil changes I've done at the dealer) but I think they have turned or machined the front rotars almost everytime I've been in there - now I find out that my Sorento is in line for the ICV recall too....
I'm really scared to drive it anymore.
