left and right strut mount and bearings
in two different dealers who are deaf because they didn't hear problem. suggest tech not race around buliding once with ac cranked and tunes blaring. took teck to vehicle a drove slowly with windows down and no tune or blower motor and after serveral time he finally admitted he heard sound but misdiagnosed. Got car back and it was worse with louder new noise and old noise. Took to another dealer who fixed whatever the first dealer screwed up but old problem still there. Both times got car back with classic "Vehicle running to specs" Got to love that! Orginal problem got worst over the following week so I took it back and asked if this is spec????? Of course not dud!!! So fixed this 3rd time ??? Well I guess not. Two weeks go by and the same noise in the left front in now in the right side. Steering bushing and bearing should not go out after 26k-27k. I loved this car and thought all the kia haters were all wet but maybe they are right cheap cheap cheaply made and not long lasting. Disappointed in what I thought was a nice car for the money.
