Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS BECAUSE I HAVE A MAJOR BOUNCING IN MY FRONT END. EVERYONE IS SAYING NOTING IS WRONG BUT I CAN ONLY GO SO FAST. I HAVE MY TIRES AND STUFF ROTATED ALL THEM TIME HOPING IT HELPS. SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT WORSE. THE DEALER IN ST GEORGE SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I DRIVE THE HIGHWAY BUT CAN ONLY DO 65 MPH. WHEN THE BOUNCING HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL IS BOUNCING TOO. I HAVE HAD THE BOUNCING FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE USED CAR DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT KIA SAID SINCE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD BOY THAT RIDES IN HERE AND I DON'T WANT TO WRECK WITH HIM IN IT.
