| Description of the problem | About a week after i purchased my sorento i notice that my vehicle would stray to the left on the freeway. When i attempted to correct the steering the vehicle would over correct and almost go into the right lane. It felt like the car had a mind of its own and was steering on its own. I brought it back to the kia dealership three times, but they could not duplicate the problem. I filed a compliant with the state of florida under the lemon law and had a hearing with kia motor of america and a arbitration judge again the problem could not be duplicated. I was advised that i would have to live with this problem until kia could find a solution and complete a recall process. I have noticed that there are several other kia sorento steering complaints on file already. So i would like to register my complaint today. My sorento was always in motion and at different speeds. And on the highway the problem always occurred at speeds between 40 and 70 mph. |
