Description of the problem	I purchased a 2011 sorento ex in 2/2010. I was told at the time that the steering, when it pulled to the right, was normal for this type of suspension. I dealt with it for a long time. Then, i noticed one day a loud clanking noise coming from the back of the vehicle. I brought it in right away, and they told me that my rear shock went out on the right side and the back leftside was almost gone as well. So, they ordered the new ones. While they had my vehicle for 5 days, i asked them to do an alignment but told me that i was past 12k miles, and wouldnt be covered uner warranty. I called kia affairs and they covered the repair under the warranty. However, the pulling (after the alignment) is still the same. I also mentioned a noise coming from the front end especially when braking. It is not normal,but dont know what it is... They told me there was nothing wrong with the brakes. But, any passenger in my vehicle hears it and says something is wrong. I am waiting for either my steering to go out or my brakes to not work on day as i know theres an isssue. There is also a clanking noise when starting the engine. What could be causing that? It sounds like someone needs to investigate and help consumers! Please. I will also follow up with kia affairs, but someone needs to intervene. The same issues aer being experienced by many people. There should be a recall relating to the steering, suspension, clunking engine noise when starting... Before something happens. These are just a few people who have spoken up, but all are similar in nature, and there must be many more who have not complained. ! Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
