Consumer Description

I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED ON MY 2005 KIA SORENTO. THIS MORNING, DRIVING MY YOUNG SON TO SCHOOL, I LOST THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS AN ONGOING DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH KIA'S. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS CONSUMERS. *TR
