Description of the problem	Kia optima 2006. 5 from day of new car purchase in dec 2006, car has had a front end problem that results in excessive noise, vibration, and a clunking sound when the vehicle strikes a series of bumps in the road. Dealer and other owners acknowledge this is typical of most vehicles in this model year. I am concerned that i could lose control if the condition deteriorates further while traveling at highway speeds.
