Description of the problem	Purchase used 2011 kia sorento with less than 12,000 miles from dealership. Car was making loud noises 2 days after purchase in the front of the vehicle. Took it in it was the power steering pump which needed to be replaced. After it's replacement less than a week later the problem started up again. Dealership said it wasn't bleed properly and had air in the system. After they bleed the pump the noise starts up next day. Now they have two replace the pump again.
