5. Current Speedo Reading Km/Miles : 63,600 mi

Additionally, my fuel gauge fluctuates randomly. Any thoughts on that?

My bolt also lasted about 3,500 km after the scheduled 60,000 service.

2005 KIA sorento. Just had maintenance done at 95,000 kms. Timing belt replaced. Bolt broke at 101,000 kms. Now costing me $6000.00 for new engine. KIA not reimbersing me a dime. Never received bolt recall. I live in Canada. Bolt was gold in color and it snapped at the threads. Thanks KIA.
