Description of the problem	When i purchased this 2006 kia it had less the 70,000 miles on it. Within 6 months of purchase the crank shaft bolt fell out when it was going 50 miles per hour. Lost steering and brakes. Had to replace crank shaft, bolt, gear, timing belt. Then the brakes froze up, then the muffler system by the o2 sensor , then battery, alternater, water pump. Know the 4x4 low light stays on so it needs a throttle sensor, and i found out today that the rear axle case is rusted out. This vehicle only has 87,000 miles. I have spent thousands. The axle should be under the 100,000 mile warranty. Can't even check the rear axle because it can't be opened. I have filed with you before about these vehicles. The crank shaft bolt should last the life of the vehicle. So should the axle case. The rear windshield wiper just rusted off. The throttle sensor as well should last the life of the vehicle. All these things shouldn't go wrong on a vehicle with 87,000 miles. These are not normal maintance. Kia sorrento first generation is an unsafe vehicle. If the 4x4 low should kick in while i am driving at 55 mph, it will blow tranny and i could flip, there already is a warning about sudden movement and roll over.
