Kia dealer said it was due to a bad sensor ($300 part, $300 labor). It was too expensive for me to pursue correcting. I told the dealer to forget the repair. *nm

    Engine · Sensor/Control Module

    I was driving my vehicle to work. For the past 2 to 3 days, i noticed some noise from my engine that sounded like a loose belt. No problem, i could replace it on the weekend.

After reaching work, i had the 24 hour service tow my…
