THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A KIA DEALER RACK & PINION WAS TESTED AND FAILED, AND WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

POWER STEERING PUMP HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN PAST 4 YEARS. NEEDS REPLACEMENT ABOUT EVERY YEAR BIT LAST 2 WERE 6 MINTHS APART. SOMETHING IS CAUSING FRICTION AND RUINING PUMPS. MAKES FLUID INSTANTLY POUR OUT AND CAR IS UNCONTROLLABLE. SO DANGEROUS

VAN HAS JUST OVER 115XXX MILES ON IT. HAVE NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION HAS A WHIP OR SLIP FEEL WHEN YOU TAKE FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL AND THEN REAPPLY FOOT TO GAS PEDAL. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT TRANSMISSION IS SHOWING WEAR. WANTED TO REPORT DUE TO POTENTIAL RECALL IN THE FUTURE.
