Description of the problem	My car started screeching and steering wheel made a knocking sound after leaving church on 08/27/2017. I thought it could not be my power steering fluid was low. The next day my day checked the level. It was below the half mark on the reservoir. My dad filled it nosie stopped and the knocking two days later it started again. I refilled the reservoir nosie stopped except this time grinding continued. The very next day low again grinding knocking and hard to steer. I could not turn the steering wheel. I asked about a recall. As usual i was told by the dealer there isn't one. I filled the reservoir and the fluid pours out from the rack and pinion. Yet there is no recall. This is dangerous. I'm going to call the kia head quarters to check on a recall sc147
