Vehicle pulls sharply and abruptly to the right at speeds above 45-50. when i test drove the vehicle, i mentioned to the salesman that i thought it was pulling to the right, of course he didn't feel it, but would have it checked. after purchasing the vehicle in april, and owning it about 7 months, this problem is worse. i took it back to the dealership where purchased, and was told this was normal due to the lane keeping assist function. if this is the case this is dangerous due to the fact that it is a very sharp and abrupt pull to the right, with no warning.
The idle stop - start system seems to be broken. whenever i pull up to a light and stop the engine shuts off. then, when i try to accelerate the engine starts but the calibers lock up on the disc creating a loud groaning sound. it causes the car to shutter and barely go forward. additionally, the car consistently pulls to the right. it causes the vehicle to begin to veer off the road. on two occasions the dealer, kia of irvine, told me they did not have the equipment fo fix this problem.
Pulls to the right at highway speed - approx 45mph. severe alignment problem. dealer told me that they did have a new-enough machine to align the car. how can kia of irvine, not have the proper equipment to fix the cars they sell? inside rear cowling that goes around the small portal window on the right was warped from the factory. car was not moving. got a replacement part; however, it was a poor install job and the front part of the cowling does not align well with its lower connect piece. right front tire is becoming severely worn because of alignment issue that can't be fixed. exterior plastic cover on left-side a-frame pillar came from the factory scratched and lose. kia of irvine will not fix it - they only want to buff the plastic. not a proper fix because the part is still lose.
