Description of the problem | I have a 2004 magentis which i heard is like the serento. The timing belt jumped and this took out the motor. Up to this i loved my car. Kia said there was nothing they could do but replace the engine at my cost and i would not get it back until it was paid for. Well being a single mother of 4, still making payments on the car for another 4 more years. Needless to say i have a car with no motor and making payments. |
