On Friday, 8/22/08, the vehicle stalled after being driven for less than a quarter of a mile from my home and in a 25 m. P. H. Zone. On Monday 8/25/08, I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. There I met with the service technician. The service technician felt that the timing belt may have failed and that the event would likely not be covered under my warranty because, as the customer, I should have had the timing belt replaced at 60,000 miles. My vehicle had 79,418 miles at the time the vehicle stalled. My 2004 kia Rio has an interference engine and no adequate warning of the probability of a timing belt failure was expressed or posted by kia. My engine has completely failed because the timing belt stripped. It will cost $1,200. 00 to $2,000. 00 to replace the motor in this automobile.
