Description of the problem	I was driving out of walgreens parking lot on 6/2/2013 in alsip, illinois. As i put my car in reverse to back out the parking space then i placed it in drive it was fine. Then i got ready to turn the wheel to come out the parking lot and it was very hard to turn. Then my lights came on the dashboard. The brake light & engine light. I then placed my feet on the brakes and placed it back in p (park) and tired to put in drive again and the same thing happened. It was very hard to turn to get it out of the way. I ended up going up the street to autozone to see if they can put in on the machine or even look at it to see what's wrong. They looked at it and told me it looks like my pulley belt is cracked / breaking / broke. So i park it in a residual area, and i called kia dealership in oaklawn, il to order the part as autozone told me they did not have that part i will have to go to the dealer. So i called kia to get the part and they said i had to order it. I did just that picked it up had the tow truck to take to the autoshop for repair. Once the mechanic looked at it he started the bolt was hard to get off to get to the pulley. He stated it is a 50/50 chance that it may break. If it does then i would need a engine. I then told him don't touch it or worry about it i will have it towed to kia in river oaks which i did. They looked at it and stated the same thing. I said well lets pray they it does not break he laughed and said ok. The mechanic called me back a hour later an said it broke i'm gonna need a engine. He told me the price, and i could not afford it so i had it towed to my house.
