Has anyone had problems with the timing belt on a 2001 sportage you have 94600 mi on it?
The timing belts should be changed between 60k-90k miles. If it slips or comes apart while the engine is running it will blow your engine. I would change it every 60k to prevent this kind of damage. It's not that hard to do. Since the KIA has a non-interference engine, It probably won't blow your engine but you should go on and replace it prior to getting stranded!
