Assist problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sorento

The red steering wheel with an exclamation point pops up on the dashboard and instantly I lose power steering the wheel gets really hard, it went out as I was making a turn and I almost hit the truck . I had to yank the wheel really hard to control the steering, then had to pull over turn the truck off then back on to reset the problem. This have been going on mildly for a few years now has gotten to its worst.

I have been calling kia corporate for a year now. They will put me on hold or transfer me until they think I give so they disconnect me! I finally got a supervisor on the phone to help me and he was very rude. I told him that “I knew kia did not want to have a situation where one of their vehicles caught on fire with children in it” and his answer was “MA’am that happens all the time”. They have not fixed the seven recalls that are on my 2016 kia sorrento. Not one out of seven. I asked for whatever was fair, I buy back, I trade, whatever was fair for both parties, and asked to speak to that gentleman’s (billy) supervisor so she could listen to that call. When I got a callback, she did apologize or say anything about the car and then she had billy call me back again so that he can tell me that in the state of north carolina, there was nothing they could do for me because he cannot do a buyback, and he cannot do a trade-in. I know that is incorrect. I have friends and family that work at car dealerships and one place is Chrysler Dodge. We got this car because we had a two year old and I had done research for six months and wanted it so bad and they only had it for two days. They never even had time to check it out but they still sold it to us. I still got some of the man steven brod‘s information that was the previous owner. If they looked it over so well, why did I have to drive back there twice to get head rests? why when I brought all this information up to them? did they throw me straight to kia corporate. We bought this vehicle at bob king kia in winston, salem north carolina. I don’t expect a telluride from 2023 to pull up with a bow on it. I do expect to be treated like a fair consumer, so I have something to say to drive my child in. It got to the point where my best friend let us buy her minivan. Literally having to get out to check if there’s fumes smoke my door handle broke there was a recall, there’s a recall on the hatchback it doesn’t open anymore etc.
