even when driving in a straight line, the steering wheel still feels tight, but it can felt more when taking sharp turns. it seems to be problem will all kia models from the on-line posts, but only affects certain vehicles

hi vishkid, the kia agents replaced the steering column, for free, even though the warranty had expired one & half months earlier, every nice of them. there was't an immediate improvement, so i took it back and they replaced the p/steering fluid, again for free, they said the only other options were to replace the steering rack or pump, which would be costly since the warranty had expired. the steering seems to have improved. i was pleased with the agents flexibility, since there are lots of negative posts about them.

hi all, thanks for all the suggestions, but i already checked all the obvious things. the 2011 sorento has hydraulic power-steering and the fluid level is ok as well. jay z - the new kia service place is on base line road, passing auto miraj and the flyover, it's on the left hand side when coming from borella.

hi all, i've got a 2011 sorento, which has done only 23000 kms, where the steering has become tight, it's especially apparent when turning left or right. i went to the agents, who didn't even drive the vehicle, but said there must be problem with steering rack bush. they seem to be a bit disorganized at their new location, since the fire at their union place branch. i also took the vehicle to pitstop for their oponion, h'ever they could not find any problem with the rack bush or rods, etc... they did the wheel alignment, but the steering issue is still there. wondering if any other kia owners have come across the same problem ? thanks
