problem #1

Jun 152011

Optima 4-cyl

  • 100 miles
2011 Kia Optima LX. Car pulls to the left at all speeds but most significantly at speeds above 60mph. This can make for very dangerous situations as the car drifts in all situations to the left. If the road is crowned to the left the car will pull almost violently to the left. I have almost hit median barriers and/or gone veered off the road several times. I can consider myself a good driver without any accidents in the past 12 years and this is unacceptable. Kia has been notified of the issue and is working on the problem. However, Kia has not come up with a fix for this problem.
