| Description of the problem | While traveling at highway speeds, the sorento constantly sways back and forth. It is extremely difficult to keep the vehicle traveling in a straight line. I took the vehicle in for this concern and they said the tire air pressure was too high, so they released some of the nitrogen from all 4 tires. I took the vehicle out again a week later on a trip and there was no change. I asked the dealer and they admitted that some of their other kia models have this same complaint by their owners and there is nothing kia can do. This is a serious safety concern. |
