Description of the problem	We have had 4 instances with the same issue in the fixing the pulley crank shaft. June 30, 08, (recall) october 6, 09, aug 10, 10 and once again sept 18,12. This is the same issue that causes you to loose steering while driving with apparently no warning. I find this extremely troubling as we have a new driver learning with this car. We are lucky to report that there have been no accidents or deaths but i think it is a very dangerous situation that will soon happen. The dealer wagner kia of shrewsbury,ma feels that it is not an issue and is just from wear and tear. 4 times for the same problem? Obviously kia has not fixed the problem correctly. It angers me that kia is not taking this seriously. We drive our children as well as other children in this car and could of had serious to fatal injuries. From this bolt shearing off it has also caused other major damage to the car that we have already had fixed.
