| Steering problems |
When traveling over 60-65mph on a highway I notice the vehicle pulling one way or another. Feels as if the steering wheel is too loose and the tires are too easily swayed right or left. Feels as though I have minimal control of the vehicle and have to concentrate on keeping the wheel straight. Also shaky when the vehicle is idling.
Im a retired mechanic I have 2016 kia Forte lx 1. 8l 6spd manual from my diagnostic scanner it showed the instrument cluster has a short in it which caused all the warning lights to come on when really the only thing that was really bad was a right front wheel speed sensor I replaced it but with the instrument panel short the ecu cant tell whats working and whats not the car only has 64000 miles and all this is still going on a diagnostic scanner cant tell what real and whats not I will never own another kia product in my life and damn sure wouldnt recommend one.
When I hit between 60-80 miles my car starts pulling and feels like the alignment is not good. I had the alignment done still doing the same thing I don't like the way it feels and sometimes I feel like I will get pulled over because it appears I'm swerving. On highway and as long as driving between 60 - 80 .
2016 kia Forte clock spring failure. Horn doesn't function. Cruise control doesn't work from clock spring failure. The idle is out of control at times. Revs high while started but in park, sometimes not enough car dies. Possible no deployment of airbag. I read several other complaints of other kias horn not working they had to replace clock spring. Kia manufacturers need to send out recall. Kia please help fix this issue.
Most recently I was driving on a rural highway when the engine stopped for no reason. . . I lost the ability to steer, all electrical dash lights were malfunctioning, I turned the key to an off postion and waited. . . After a minute I was able to start the car.
