Lx model awd. Purchased at 21k miles, currently has 33k miles. Steering can be described as "sticky" with micro steering wheel adjustments needed to keep the car tracking straight. As the wheel is turned left or right there is a delay and small lag or bumping felt until the actual steering adjustment is transferred to the cars wheels. This occurs and is more pronounced at higher speeds. It is noticeable and concerning when trying to hold the car straight on a long stretch of highway. My concern from a safety point, is that the steering mechanisms will fail or freeze up. Besides the fact that driving the car is annoying to operate like this and causes fatigue, there is definitely something not right as I have read from many forums online. I love everything about else about the kia Sorento, but this steering issue very concerning. Have already rules out tires, alignment etc. The feeling in the steering wheel is pronounced and not something I have ever felt in any car I have ever driven in 45 years.
