Description of the problem	There is an issue with the electric steering on my car, it has a "catch" in the steering wheel, when you get it past that point you have over corrected and is dangerous. It makes it near impossible to hold your lane straight. Ive mentioned this to the car dealer ship kia many times and im simply told that it is normal for electric steering that i am not used to it. I have seen many many complaints about this exact issue with this make and model, seems no one is doing anything about it. This has nearly caused me to have an accident, just the slightest touch to correct this "catch" sends you one way or the other in your lane. It can be very dangerous and i feel no one is taking this seriously, should someone have to die before we check out a potential issue? My car has 20000 miles and has been doing this for about the last 6 months, did not happen when i first bought the vehicle.
