POWER TRAIN
STEERING IS VERY UNSTABLE. EXTREMELY AFRAID OF THIS CAR - I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT IN CONTROL WHEN DRIVING, I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FIGHT TO STAY STRAIGHT. VEERS/PULLS LEFT AND RIGHT AS IF IM BOUNCING IN BETWEEN THE LINES ON THE INTERSTATE. MY STOMACH STAYS IN KNOTS IN FEAR I WILL HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR WORSE A CONCRETE BARRIER IN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE INTERSTATE. IT FEELS AS IF 3-5 SECONDS I AM NOT IN CONTROL, MY ARMS ARE EXHAUSTED BY THE TIME I ARRIVE TO MY WORK, HOME, OR ELSEWHERE. HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO KIA DEALER WHEN HAVING OIL CHANGED & I AM ALWAYS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG OR CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. FOUR MECHANICS HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR ELSEWHERE AND AGREE THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND KIA SHOULD RECALL AND FIX BEFORE IT COST SOMEONE/A FAMILY THEIR LIVES. MY DASH LIGHTS ALSO SURGE TO MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS AT ANY RANDOM MOMENT WHILE DRIVING - ALL ON THEIR OWN. I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING MY CAR, I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH 2012 AND CURRENTLY HAVE 14K MILES (HIGHWAY FOR WORK). RECENTLY, TWICE MY CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS NOT GOING TO START, SPUTTERING, SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE CAR. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES IF I AM AT A RED LIGHT/STOPPED AND WHEN I ACCELERATE SOMETIMES THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT DIES OUT FOR A SECOND - MISFIRING. I CAN NOT PASS IN TRAFFIC OUT OF FEAR MY CAR WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR CONSTANTLY WILL NOT CONNECT TO MY PHONE, OR KEEPS A CALL DISPLAY ON THE RADIO AFTER THE CALL HAS ENDED (FREEZES) UNTIL I RESTART MY CAR. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE WIRING/ELECTRICAL/STEERING WITH MY CAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE! TOYOTA RECALLED ONLY AFTER A DEATH, HYUNDAI/NISSAN/DODGE ALL JUST RECALLED IMMEDIATELY - WHAT ABOUT US KIA? I HAVE A FAMILY IN THIS SEDAN THAT IS GOING TO END UP COSTING MY LIFE OR WORSE, MY ENTIRE FAMILY'S LIVES! PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!!!!! STEERING IS NOT NORMAL OR SAFE!!!
