2011 kia Optima lx. Car pulls to the left at all speeds but most significantly at speeds above 60mph. This can make for very dangerous situations as the car drifts in all situations to the left. If the road is crowned to the left the car will pull almost violently to the left. I have almost hit median barriers and/or gone veered off the road several times. I can consider myself a good driver without any accidents in the past 12 years and this is unacceptable. Kia has been notified of the issue and is working on the problem. However, kia has not come up with a fix for this problem.

There was a safety recall on my 2002 kia Optima regarding the subframe. The corrosion under my car is devastating. Nhtsa needs to know that this corrosion problem is extensive and affects more then the subframe. Kia is insisting that I pay for the damage they will cause when they have to replace the subframe. This is a safety hazard that will affect thousands.
