1 Timing Tensioner problem of the 2012 Kia Motor Optima Hybrid

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

Need to replace complete belt tensioner & bracket assembly & serpentine belts.

Was there a bad batch of plastic used on these cars? cost to replace belt tensioner, bracket assembly & belts is approx. $800. 00. The canister is covered by kia - cost 164. 00.
