Description of the problem	Traveling 60 mph, on highway (pa turnpike extension) near allentown, pa. Front end started vibrating, another driver warned me to pull over, wheels wobbling. Front left control arms completely rusted through and cracked. There's been kia recalls for this, but kia has refused ownership of this defect on sportage. They denied covering all or part of this $500 repair + towing + loss of use. We live 2. 5 hrs. Away from incident. This is a highly dangerous issue! (i am 54, have owned many cars. Have never experience a rusted though suspension part.) kia did issue a "voluntary service campaign" which we received 6/14, to address sportage needing additional anti corrosion under vehicle in states that use salt on roads. We have requested kia to reconsider covering this defect.
