Consumer Description

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF POWER STEERING CUTS OUT IN WET CONDITIONS WITH BATTERY LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT ILLUMINATING. ONCE THE LIGHTS GO OFF, POWER STEERING IS REGAINED. IT IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND NOW WE I DON'T LET HER DRIVE WHEN IT RAINS OR IF IT IS WET OUT. KIA STATES THERE IS NO RECALL OR TSB FOR WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN? EACH OCCURRENCE THE CAR HAS TO BE STOPPED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN MAKING A TURN HAVE TO SLAM ON BREAKS TO THE STOP TO REGAIN HEADING CONTROL.
