Driving within 25 mph when a thump/break was heard. The vehichle became inoperable to drive unable to steer or turn steering wheel. Diagonal to road and feared for life as this was rush hour traffic. Had passengers in vehicle including diasable person. Was able to turn wheel slightly and drive straight to gas station within 50 feet. Immediately called tow truck and had taken to dealer halleen kia in north olmstead, ohio and contacted manufacturer kia corporation to ascertain defective equipment or recall history. No satisfaction as I feel kia should fix frame since this major component failed.

This car has been, nonstop, 1 mech problem after another with kia CO & manuf claiming 'normal wear/tear or first heard of problems. ' your site shows that other consumers of same vehicle have all experienced same problems (esp brakes, battery, tires, steering column, fuel assembly). Kia & dealership unresponsive and unaccountable for products sold and represented- esp. Highly dangerous vehicle problems/defects. (dot number: 96737 tiresize: p185/65r14).

The brakes squeak and the pads were replaced at 1200 miles, the brakes failed again at 6600 miles the rotors were warped and the pads were worn and I returned the car to northwestern Dodge and kia and they replaced the pads and machined the rotors, however the stering wheel shakes and vibrates when I drive on the expressway and the brakes are still grinding. The stering wheel and column vibrates and shakes when I drive at 50+ mph. At 6600 miles the check engine light illuminated and there is a burning smell. The car dies out when I am at a stand still for no reason and without any warning. I have to start the car at least 3 times before it turns over. Overall I would say that I am disappointed with the car and the moment that I can trade it in I plan to do so and I will advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing this car to not even consider a kia (any model) because they are not well made cars.
