Kia Sorento Steering Safety Report | June 26, 2010
Reported on June 26, 2010
| BOUGHT A 2011 KIA SORENTO 4CYL STANDARD PACKAGE. NOTICED AT AROUND 200 MILES THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS MAKING SOME CLUNKING NOISES AND FELT VERY WOBBLY. THE CAR ALSO PULLS TO THE RIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. CALLED THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM AND THEY HAD ANOTHER CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SO THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS. IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS, KIA SAID THEY WOULD CALL BUT THEY NEVER DID SO I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER OVER 4 TIMES TO HEAR THE WORDS WE DON'T HAVE YOUR PART THEY TOLD ME ONE OTHER TIME THAT ONE OF THE GUYS TRIED TO ORDER TOO MANY PARTS AND THEY GOT REJECTED! LIES! THE RPM'S ALSO REEVE UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEY MAKE THE CAR SOUND LIKE THE MOTOR IS GOING TO BLOW UP AND LAST, THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY UNSAFE!I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING A PILE OF JUNK. I AM WAITING TO BREAK DOWN ON THE FREEWAY! *TR | |
