Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 KIA SORENTO 4 CYL. AND JUST AFTER ONE DAY OF OWNERSHIP NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 150 MILES ON IT. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT AND DID A TEST ON IT AND AFTER THE TEST THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO OFF CENTER, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK ONCE MORE AND THIS TIME THEY PERFORMED A TIRE ROTATION, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP THE BRAKES HAVE STARTED TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL NOISE AND THE SUSPENSION FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING APART. THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR KIA TECHNICIAN REPRESENTATIVE TO COME BY AND TAKE A LOOK AND REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
