Description of the problem	This is not a new complaint as i see many others!!!! I purchased a kia optima 2014 on november 8, 2014 with 175 miles. I did test drive but not at speeds above 60 mph. The first time i drove on the interstate, at speeds 70-80 mph, i noticed i was really having to "steer" this car. First left, then right and never stopping until speeds dropped below 60 mph or so. I took it to the dealer and they checked it over and said everything was fine. Next highway drive was 90 miles each way and the car is definitely "all over the lane", so much so i actually got motion sickness and almost had to stop to vomit. When i returned home and started researching, i found a site www. Arfc. Org and to my surprise, there are plenty of complaints about this exact same issue with this car. I have just notified the dealer, although from reading others experiences, i am not optimistic about kia fixing it. I implore your organize to force kia's management to correct this problem before there are deaths involved. It is truly an unsafe car on the interstate highway, which sadly, is the bulk of my driving.
