Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2018
File date	10/08/19
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The steering is notchy at freeway speeds 50 mph. Athe car cannot be held in straight direction by making small corrections to the steering wheel. Any steering corrections made are met with heavy resistance then steering will move instantly to what feels like a notch. This causes the driver to make another correction in the other direction. Again, this correction is met with heavy resistance and then instantly jumps to what feels like a notch. This correction causes steering to be erratic and fatigues the driver who must make corrections every few seconds leading to an over correction. At highway speeds, it causes the driving to be unsafe as the vehicle is constantly weaving. Kia knows about this problem affecting many of there vehicles, but there has of yet been no recall. But, it is a very real safety concern, as it fatigues the driver from the constant over corrections, and causes the driving to be erratic.
