This vehicle drifts while driving at speeds of 50+ mph. The steering wheel has to be adjusted constantly in order to keep the vehicle driving in a straight line. I have taken it to the dealership that I purchased it. I replaced the tires with brand new ones. The dealership tried numerous alignments, and was not able to fix the problem. Upon my 4th return to the dealership they contacted the Kia headquarters in an attempt to identify the problem. Kia advised them to replace the entire steering column. I paid $600 for the steering column replacement and the Sorento is still drifting right and sometimes left. I have now returned the Sorento to the dealership (5th time) and they have had it for 3 days and are trying to identify the problem. This vehicle has never been in any crashes, and it has been maintained by the dealership (Evans Kia, Evans GA). Today I have filed a complaint with NHTSA.

Initially, I didn't notice the wandering issue from delivery date of 11/20/2014. Noticed wandering in March of 2015 (with about 3,000 miles on it) was getting progressively more noticeable. Reported problem to dealer CSR on April 21. CSR stated there was a recall for steering wandering on RIO models, but not yet a recall on Sorento models. Don't know what that means, whether KIA will recall 2015 Sorentos or not. Several forums on the net report same kind of wandering on other models and earlier Sorentos. My 2004 Sorento with hydraulic steering never had this issue. I suspect it's the electric steering system is a faulty design/manufacturing problem(s).

Update from Jun 4, 2015: Took Sorento to dealer Mark KIA.

DEALER "checked" alignment; no issues there, and did a road test. Dealer CSR reported that tech didn't agree that there is a "wandering" issue.

So, unless KIA choose to acknowledge "wandering" issue; I'm just going to have to live with it.
