2002 KIA RIO

2002 Kia Rio 4-CYL Does this car have a timing belt? If so what are the
intervals they should be changed? My sister got this car from car-mart and
has been a very good car, it has hit a deer and wiped out the front clip,
the front clip has been replaced. The car has a sound coming from the rear
that sounds almost like it has mud tires on the back but it doesn't. It has
new BF goodrich tires on the back of it. What could this sound be coming
from? it currently has almost 80,000 miles on it. What are common problems
with this car?

Thanks in advance,

Git ir done , 70 k recommended , I had mine done at 72 k , guy in work
had it done at 75 k I think , he asked about the condition of the belt and
was told it looked like the external belts as far as wear . (These are
both 03 's ) The engine self destructs if it fails so don't put it off
too long . I had mine done after tax for $400 , other guy had it done for
$390 including the replacement of the external belts , shop around for a
good price.
