Description of the problem	I was driving down the road doing 55mph when i heard a loud sound and all of a sudden the break and battery light came on in 2006 kia sorento. At that very moment, i realized that i did not have any power steering. Up until this point, my only complaint with my suv was that i had to constantly replace the bulbs in both the front and back of the car. Also, my dome light stopped working and some of the panel lights as well. Although, that was annoying, i never complained because it did not put me in any serious danger. However the problem with the power steering could have killed me or someone else. I know my vehicle is out of warranty, but these cars should be built to last and not put my life in danger regardless of how long i keep it. Sheesh, if kia would have told me that once my car gets at a certain age it would put my life in danger i would have had second thoughts about the purchase. I think it is sad that these big companies only care about making money than human mortality.
