I am well aware of ocassional problems with new vehicles, I feel that some one must rectify this situation, I would like very much to be a part of this. I have owned the car for 3 months and have had more than my share of problems with this car and attitudes from the dealership about having them fixed, I would like very much to be contacted by a representitive of NHTSA just to let me know that all my time was not wasted with this questionaire, hopefully you can do something to help me and my family and the many others I have talked to that are having these same problems with their Kia's sincerely, donald R lavallee

The rack and pinion steering was replaced, after the replacement the steering made a grinding sound and vibrated when brakes were applied, also the steering has a lot of play in the wheel. Dealer has been contacted.
