1 Power Steering Light On problem of the 2018 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 10/02/2019

When driving 40+ mph, when the wind is blowing, the steering becomes sticky, notchy or jerky, call it what ever you please. When trying to adjust steering slightly to drive in a straight direction, my steering becomes jerky and dangerous. Kia refuses to look into this seriously. They want me spending hundreds of dollars to get it diagnosed. But how will it be diagnosed when it only happens when it is windy? please help me with this.

2 Power Steering Light On problem of the 2017 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 03/08/2019

As I am driving over 40 mph, the vehicle will lose all power and caution lights illuminate on the dash, radio turns off, power steering goes out, car decreases speed. The car immediately turns back on, but there is no acceleration to the vehicle. This has happened 3 times in the last 5 days and it happed 3 times today March 12, 2019. All incidents were on city streets, while going straight at speeds 40 mph or more. The last time, was while I was making a right turn getting on the freeway. After each occurrence, I would safely pull off the road, turn the vehicle off, wait a couple seconds and turn the car back on. The car would resume back to normal. I have noticed that after the first time this happened, when I do the first attempt to turn the car on, it does not turn over.

3 Power Steering Light On problem of the 2016 Kia Motor Sorento

Failure Date: 08/01/2017

Steering wheel slightly jerks on its own going down the highway. Seems. Yo be worse when the car is warmed up and driven more than 20 minuets. Both hands on the wheel to keep the car from veering the steering seems to get tight hard spots and then loose, you continually are correcting and over correcting and you end up all over your lane. When car is cold seems to go strait down the road, it's not out of alignment. 20k car. Seems to be getting worse. Taken in twice. Dealer says that's how electric steering works and I am just not used to it. How the hell could anyone!.
