3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2018

I have taken my car in to 3 different shops because I have a major bouncing in my front end. Everyone is saying noting is wrong but I can only go so fast. I have my tires and stuff rotated all them time hoping it helps. Sometimes it makes it worse. The dealer in st george says nothing is wrong. I drive the highway but can only do 65 mph. When the bouncing happens the steering wheel is bouncing too. I have had the bouncing for about 10 months. I bought the car used with 79,000 miles on it. The used car dealer told me that it was still under warranty but kia said since I was the second owner there was no warranty. I have a 3 year old boy that rides in here and I don't want to wreck with him in it.
