1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2025

We have received the security update for the ignition system over a year ago for the recall. Even with this recall fix our vehicle was still stolen, so this solution clearly didn't work.

2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2024

Steering wheel "sticks" at higher speeds, making it difficult to make fine adjustments. When steering un-sticks, it then overcompensates and you end up zig-zagging down the highway. It is very uncomfortable and it feels unsafe.

3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

Steering is sticky/tight especially when going into a curve. Had dealer check it and they said they couldn’t find why it was doing it and that it was okay there was no accident and still driving the car.

4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2022

There is a hiss noise coming from the steering when you are making a left or right turn.

5 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2021

My vehicle was stolen from my residential home. My window was buss out and they stole my vehicle. After over two weeks my vehicle was finally retrieved by the police and city of milwaukee tow lot. I was told by financing company as well as police department to go get pictures of vehicle as reported from tow company that my vehicle was completely totaled out. I went and retrieved pictures seeing that my car was totaled. With this being said I don't have a vehicle for me or my children to be able to get to work and or school and daycare. I don't know what I'm going to do with trying to not jeopardize my job with getting to work. So I'm writing this so that kia company can be held accountable for not recalling these vehicles and putting me and my children during this pandemic at risk of losing everything home, job and more.
