NHTSA Complaint #10334297 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

2011 KIA SORENTO 4-CYL EX ALIGNMENT ISSUE: PURCHASED AUTO 3/27/10 AND NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT. WAS TOLD TO WAIT 30 DAYS (OR 1000 MILES) FOR BREAK-IN PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP DID AN ALIGNMENT ON 5/5/10; THEY THEN STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL ON 5/6/10; AND TIGHTENED THE SPECS ON 5/7/10. THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER KIA DEALERSHIP IN AKRON ON 5/19/10, AND THEY ROTATED THE FRONT TIRES AND DID ANOTHER ALIGNMENT--THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. THE CAR STILL DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT. I AM WORKING WITH KIA CORPORATION TO TRY TO FIND A FIX, BUT FELT THE INFORMATION WAS IMPORTANT TO NHTSA SHOULD OTHER COMPLAINTS BE RECEIVED ON THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
