Description of the problem | I have had the steering go out multiple times - reported it to kia where i lease from and a local shop. Just happened again today (11/25/19) - it has happened at least 3 times in the last year - i have had it towed to the place i leased from as well. Also, twice now - while driving the engine shuts off. Very scary. As i stated, i have taken in and the kia dealerships say that they cannot not get it to duplicate, they treat me as i am making up. Now reading that it does happen to others, i think this is an issue. I will not lease or buy another kia |
