Description of the problem	I have a 2004 kia optima with a belt that squeaks rather loudly. I took it back to the dealer. They said it was not covered under warranty and would cost $120. 00 to replace it if i wanted to, but it was not dangerous. My problem was that i had just bought the car and it made this awful sound. I even contacted kia's complaint department, but nothing was ever done. This is my first and last kia. This just didn't happen once, but squeaks on a regular basis. *jb
