Description of the problem	I bought my 2011 sorento sx awd 2 months ago and have had nothing but problems with it. The dealer has aligned the car 3 times for pulling to the right, it still does it. My biggest issue is the vibration and groan sound i get when driving at 57mph. The sound is a resonating and annoying sound which goes up and down and seems to subside after 60mph and get bad again at 80mph. The dealer has balanced the new tires 3 times, swapped the drive line with another sorento and it didn't improve it at all. They placed a new drive line and it made it worse. I have opened a trouble ticket and a case number with kia customer support but they have said the issue is an inherent characteristic of this vehicle. Not acceptable by me. Kia corp needs to find a solution for this issue. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and have a fix for it.
