Description of the problem	I purchased this 2005 kia sorento and on my way home there was a knock before i lost my sterring and brakes. Luckily i slowed down when i heard the sound. I got the car home safelybeing only a half a mile away. Called the dealer i purchased the kia from and he came and got it to repair it. He bought the updated so call bolt that was suppose to fix the issue with the crank shaft bolt. Then i got the car back and had the gas tank leaking from the seams. He fix and replaced that. Just the other night on my way to work and i lost my sterring and brakes again.. I travel on main roads but there is a lot of amish here and thank god i wasn't going around any of there buggy and hurt those people or myself.. There is no fix what so ever for this issue and someone needs to make kia stand up and take responsibility for this faulty defect before a innocent child or woman or husband gets killed.
