Description of the problem	Driving 65mph on turnpike heard a loud screeching noise brakes were hard to apply steering was difficult and dash board lite up pull to the side of the road and was towed to the nearest kia dealership to be told that crank shaft bolt broke. At 60000 miles we did the required maintenance to the tune of 663. 65 and had the timing belt replaced. There was also a memo to the dealerships to replace the bolt when replacing the timing belt. According to my itemized statement the bolt was not replaced. I feel this should be covered since i followed the rules and got the required service they were negligent not replacing the bolt. However they refuse to accept responsibility for there mistake. Now i am stuck with a considerable bill.
