Description of the problem	From 9/2011 to 7/2013 my 2006 kia has had this problem 3 times and is currently in the shop. While driving i hear a weird noise and then all the dashboard warning lights come on and i lose power steering. When checking under the hood, the belts have all fallen off, a pulley is laying under engine as is a bolt. The last time the bolt had broken off causing the pulley to fall off. Mechanic found that the crankshaft sprocket was broken. I'm not sure about today as the car is at the shop with the bolt laying under the engine, but the drive pin that goes into the sprocket of the pulley fell out the bottom when being lifted onto the tow truck.
