Description of the problem	This is a know problem , but steering control is really bad. As i am going down the road,(worse as speed increases) the car wanders left to right with no middle ground. So it is not an alignment issue as i am all over and not just pulling to one side. I have to keep arms locked on steering wheel to try to keep going straight and still just isn't enough. Dealer says that's what kias do. This is a serious concern , as serious accidents will cone from this and the maker does nothing about it. Looking in rear or side view mirror for a second and i can be on the verge of the lane next to me. What worries me most is i see this has been an issue for many previous model years and no one has done a thing about it. I love the kia optima but had i known about this problem i would have never purchased.. My fault for lack of research, however you would think the manufacturer would fix an issue that's been around for quite some time. This has to be fixed already.
