Description of the problem	1st occurrence: on july 10, 2017, at about 11:30 a. M., i made a left turn on a city street in las cruces, nm, which took me through an underpass. It was a 'wide' turn and i was probably moving at about 25 mph. About half way through the turn i lost power steering and by brute force, was able to turn my car and avoid the wall of the underpass. Had there been another car to my right, i would most likely have hit it on the driver side. I brought my sorento to a stop and was able to restart the engine. I am unsure which came first, the loss of power steering or the engine stopping. Later that day, i took the car to the local kia service facility where no problem(s) could be found. I was the sole occupant of my sorento at the time of this first incident. 2nd occurrence: on july 27, 2017, at about 2:00 p. M., i made a right turn on a city street in las cruces, nm. Immediately after completing the turn and just beginning to move straight ahead at about 30 mph, i once again lost my power steering. Fortunately there were no other cars in close proximity and i was able to coast into a parking lot, once again using brute force to steer. The engine was not running when i brough my sorento to a stop, but i was able to restart and drove directly to the same kia service facility. No problems could be found this time either. Though i am not 100 percent certain, i believe the loss of engine power preceded the loss of power steering. My wife was with me when this incident occurred.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
