Optima

Kia Optima 2006.5 from day of new car purchase in Dec 2006, car has had a front end problem that results in excessive noise, vibration, and a clunking sound when the vehicle strikes a series of bumps in the road. Dealer and other owners acknowledge this is typical of most vehicles in this model year. I am concerned that I could lose control if the condition deteriorates further while traveling at highway speeds. Dealer did replace the front struts a month after the vehicle was purchased, but the condition persists. Vehicle now has 12000 miles on the odometer.
