Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Update to complaint of 6-2-2010: since my original filing, i have had a total of 5 alignments, 1 steering wheel straightening, 1 tightening of alignment specs, a front tire switch; also 4 new tires with spin balance were put on the suv by kia. I have given up on kia being able to correct the suv drifting to the right. The new tires did help somewhat, but mostly they gave it a better ride. Took sorento in on transmission recall fix may 2011; several days later the suv wouldn't shift into gear and had to be towed back to dealer. Brand new transmission was installed, and suv runs better than ever. The initial purchase of this vehicle was really a challenge, but the sorento has turned out to be a great vehicle and i am very satisfied with the driving and handling. I have hauled at least 1,000 pounds in the back at one time with no trouble; this suv is a workhorse.
