Description of the problem	When i bought the 2011 kia optima ex i went around the block and came back to the kia dealer because the vehicle was pulling to the left. The dealer technician looked at it and i left. I came back a week later for the same issue so dealer did a wheel alignment that did not resolve the issue. I contacted kia directly and they sent a district manager to look at it. Later on kia sent a district technician to look at it and re-do the wheel alignment. The vehicle is still pulling to the left and it is very dangerous. I understood by other kia dealers that it is an issue with a lot of 2011 kia optima's.
