Sportage LX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,000 miles

Same complaint as the others on this page for this model. Power steering basically does not work if you are not pressing on the gas petal. Have brought it to mechanic twice now. They have replaced belts, fluids, no luck. Car is dangerous to drive. You'll try to turn and it will require significant effort, then if you touch the gas petal, the wheel turns as normal. Leads you to drive with your foot on the gas when you should not and can cause the steering process to suddenly become easier or harder.
