Kia Sportage 2011 Steering Review #10430329

KIA SPORTAGE 2011 car safety problem was reported on Jan 11, 2011.KIA SPORTAGE 2011, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . the electronic steering on my 2011 sportages causes a problem during travel at highway speeds. all cars will slowly drift to the side when driving on a flat straight road but normally it only requires a slight pressure on the steering wheel to correct and it is accomplished so easily and seamlessly that you do not even think about it. the problem with the steering on my 2011 sportage is in how it reacts to these subtle steering wheel corrections at expressway speeds. the problem is not apparent in city stop and go traffic as you are distracted by other driving actions while negotiating traffic. when however you drive any significant distance on an expressway the problem becomes very apparent. while driving you can gently move the steering wheel about ¼ inch in each direction (1/2 inch total) before a higher resistance is felt and the tire changes direction. in other words when the car begins to drift a slight pressure on the steering wheel does not immediately translate to tire movement. it feels like there is excessive sticking somewhere in the steering system that releases as you increase pressure on the steering wheel. because the initial tire movement is a small step rather than smooth linear movement, it often is too much, and you have to correct with opposite steering wheel movement. the affect is that on a long drive you spend an inordinate amount of time making steering wheel corrections to keep the car going in a straight line. this problem has been reported by a number of 2011 sportage owners as can be found kia-forum.com. the dealership and the factory customer service representatives have been involved and after several attempts to fix it have decided that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. *tr.Mileage was 0 miles.

(on our second trip in) each time we have had our car "fixed" the problems have returned with more problems sometimes immediately after, sometimes in a day or two. we have yet to be told what is wrong. the following are problems we are experiencing: randomly not accelerating, the vehicle locking up in park, loss of power, a rolling feeling while driving, whining noise, grating feeling in steering and gas pedal, shifting is really loud and takes longer than it should, brakes are not reliable sometimes there is little resistance in the pedal, we are getting 200 miles to the tank, you can feel a pattern of bumps while driving it is like smooth bump smooth bump bump smooth bump etc... ( i do not know how else to describe it and we have not been told what is wrong) on the last occasion my car was serviced i was told everything was fixed and all of the problems tied into the brake system, the computer had to "re-learn" what it should know. i drove for three miles before experiencing the problems again, and they are getting worse. i feel the service dept. does not want to address the real problem, there is a terrible defect with a major component(s) of this car. i have taken video of my instrument panel while driving to reflect the irregular shifting. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KNDPC3A60B7.
