Steering Rack And Pinion problems of the 2012 Kia Motor Optima

As I drive the car, she has a tendency of going either to the left or the right. I have to forcefully rectify my steering wheel and someone behind me would see that I'm drivimg erratically. It is annoying while driving to have to give to the steering wheel a notch to the left or to the right when actually you want to go straight. Is there a recall on the problem. I bought the car 2 years ago and they told me that was the only problem they had with it. They had to change the rack and pinion. And now she's doing it again. It does that on any street or highway.

The contact owns a 2012 kia Optima. While driving 35 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact safely pulled over as the body of the vehicle veered from left to right due to the loss of power steering ability. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to selma kia (2775 auto mall dr. , selma, CA 93662, (559) 891-2300) where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 155,000.

Problems start in 2012 engine recall in 2017 was replace,steering recall in 2018 steering coupling was replace how ever my rack and pinion was affected and needs to be replace. We call them in 2012 regarding the steering wheel witch they didn't fix at that time which caused rack and pinion to wear out. We went to three different dealer ships regarding this car and nothing was done. This car is still giving us problems and we want the manufacture to either give us our money back or fix this problem this car is a hazard to our family, if something is int down some one is going to get hurt in this car!!! . This car stop on us in traffic someone could of gotten hurt ,aaa had to pull this car to the selma dealer ship at that time. On the freeway the steering wheel would pull side to side that's dangerous. From 2012 until now this car is still giving us problems. We have all the paper work that was done on this lemon. Why don't someone help these consumers out here with these problem on the kia. I need help as ASAP.

"takata recall"while driving this car on the highway I notice noise coming from the front. I've had problem with this same thing since 2012, first the string it would pull left and right on its own while drive straight. Kia said they would fix it. There was a recall on this problem,now my rack and pinion is broken,and that's because kia refuse to fix that problem back in 2012 with the string. Kia sent us a settlement letter , which states they will paid us $531. 95 by means of a check, it states it is understood and agreed that this settlement is a compromise of disputed claims and does not constitute, an admission of liability on the part of kia. We did not sing that letter because kia cars are no good! and there has been recalls since that letter was sent. They tried to black mail us we didn't fall for the scam. The company know this car is no good. If you need that letter sent to you I can do that to. Someone could die because of this problem its dangerous,I work in the mountains this problem needs fixing now not later now!!!. Sincerely, need this problem fix.
