Power Steering Pump Problems of Kia Motor Optima

The electric power steering pump has a short going to the motor, which is a fire hazard. Also, you must move the wheel nonstop or it will lock up which could cause you to wreck and die. Very dangerous. At this point there is absolutely no power steering making it very hard to drive and steer.

I am sending this complaint in regards to complaint #11317148. On March 09, 2020 I filed a complaint about a possible recall issue to my 2015 kia Optima. I contacted Kia Motors @800-333-4542 case #13580555 spoke with vicky about the issue on March 16, 2020 and brittany on March 17, 2020 and the response was that premier kia lufkin texas said I decline to have the power steering fluid changed which was they decline to replace the steering column under any warranty, so I decided to pay the $1298. 00 on June 09, 2020 to have premier kia lufkin texas to replace the steering column for my safety and my family. I also contacted kiaparts. Com about where to locate the power steering reservoir and received a email on may 27, 2020 from sondra macias at hansomotors parts department informing me that my 2015 kia Optima have an electronic power steering. There is no pump or reservoir. But like I say for safety issues I paid the $1298. 00 to replace the steering column. My question now is have there been any recalls for this issue that would warrant me a refund of $1298. 00 the amount I paid premier kia on June 09, 2020? I would also like to receive updates on any and all recalls concerning my 2015 kia Optima. Thanks. Sincerely, verniece bryant.

Takata recall. As I was driving on the highway, my car stopped on me during traffic flow. This has happened more than five times and I was almost killed with my small children in the vehicle. We have been suffering with this issue for over a whole year. On July 3,2017 my mother and I was coming home on the fwy and once again, during traffic flow, my car shut off while driving on the road. Luckily, I was able to pull over to get a safe spot before I crashed because there were so many cars coming behind me so fast and the side ramps we're very narrow. I have taken it in for servicing but for some reason, they are not able to find out what the problem is. I have taking it in and even left with them for almost a whole month at one time and still no diagnosis. Rental car after rental car. They installed a data recorder in my car and the first time they found no data, then they installed it again for another week and they claim that it was the fuel pump relay. So they installed a new fuel pump relay in my car. A few weeks later my car shut down again on the way coming home and in the freeway with my mother and 2 year neice. We we're almost killed. The car just shuts off while driving and says "goodbye" with no warning while driving this is how I know that this has something to do with the engine. Please help if you can. I do not feel safe in this car and we are in danger. Sometimes the lights in the car cut on and off too.
