Description of the problem	Shortly after buying the kia it developed a problem where the steering wheel would stick when attempting to turn left or right. It takes a little extra effort to move the wheel past these sticking points mostly at 12 o'clock position and it gradually becomes more difficult the faster the car travels. At highway speeds this is quite troublesome and dangerous as the problem is amplified. While traveling in traffic at higher speeds,windy conditions,searching your mirror to change lanes,etc., if the car wanders sometimes it causes me to over correct which in turn causes another over correction to return to the lane . I have had these problems on the highway and cannot find a way to adjust. This seems to be an intermittent problem but if it happens it stays for the duration of the drive, it may or may not be there next time. A recent incident has caused me to notify kia and nhtsa. There was no accident no one was hurt but over correcting caused an incident that shook up my wife and i as i could have easily lost control on that highway, in traffic at that speed at night. We ended up taking back roads. I have been to the dealer where i bought the car but they found nothing. A technician told me today that i probably need to get used to the electric power steering. After a year now? He apparently knew something and has answered similar questions as i believe that not all kia's have electric power steering. It amy also be weather related since it seemed to return as the weather has gotten colder. I have searched on line and have found others with similar problems with hyundai as well. I'm leaving the car with a kia dealer 12/26.
