2006 KIA SEDONA Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1024076
Internal NHTSA #	10553070
Manufacurer	Kia Motors Corporation
Brand	KIA
Model	SEDONA
Model Year	2006
File date	01/10/13
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Was driving normally and suddenly left front wheel started skidding as it felt like it was turned in a direction that opposed the other front tire direction. Vehicle quickly became unstearable. Left lower control arm was found to be totally rust weakened with large rust holes and cracks..... And after part was removed by a mechanic, i could easily bend the whole control arm in half with very little effort. If this sudden failure had occurred moments earlier with my kids on the way to school and on the highway.... This could have been a much worse result. As a result, i also had to replace both front tires, certain parts connecting to this control arm and had to have the vehicle realigned. The opposite control arm on the right side seems to look 'normal' with no apparent rust weakening. It seems as though the intact side has a type of coating that is intact and the failed side is missing much/most of the coating.
