Description of the problem	The car is unable to keep a straight course without constantly steering corrections. Eyes can't be taken off the road even to look at the rearview mirror. It will go from one side of the road to the other with any minor bump or even on a very flat surface. Wiggling of the steering is the only way to keep it on a straight line but eyes have to be on the road 100%. Extremely dangerous on any road but specially on a two-lane road. Accidents including head-on collision are sure to happen. Kia is not doing much/anything about it. Car is only 1500 miles now.
