Description of the problem	On 5-9-2012, it was raining heavily. My rondo, which drove fine the day before and the day after, started making a loud screeching noise and the steering became very "tight" feeling. I pulled off road into a parking lot, and when i did experienced total loss of steering control. I came very close to crashing into the parked car beside me as a result. I waited a few minutes, restarted the car. Pulling out of the parking space, my vehicle brakes engaged suddenly without notice, and my son and i were grabbed by our seat belts as our bodies were thrown forward so hard. I was blocking traffic so i restarted the car, and it drove ok on a straight road, but when i turned, again lost steering. When i say loss of power steering, i mean with all my might i couldn't get the car to go where i wanted. The rain stopped and i had no further problems until yesterday, 6-13-12, when it had been raining again. This time, pulling onto a busy road, moving quickly due to the approaching traffic, and again lost all ability to steer. Fortunately i was able to slam on my brakes and go in reverse to get out of the path of oncoming traffic, but had the circumstances been different, my young children and i could have suffered a catastrophe. Nhtsa had two similar reports with the 2007 rondo: internal sequence number #736xxx dated 8-23-09 and #749xxx dated 12/2/2009. I hope nhtsa and/or kia addresses this problem before someone is injured or killed.
