2017 Kia Sportage Steering Problems

While driving on the highway, vehicle lost all electrical power. The engine stayed running, but I lost use of anything electrical including the power steering, headlights, and dashboard functions. Vehicle power resumed after about a minute and we made it home, but the vehicle would not start after this.

The car slightly veered to the left, at first. I brought it up to the sales person during the drive. There was also a slight burning smell when I drove the car home in the evening from the dealer.

I took my car to the Kia dealer because I burn I was smelling burn oil. They told me that it wasn’t burn oil. It was the rubber burning I replace the inner and I’m still smelling the oil burning.

Dead short in a wiring harness to the steering column where it goes up and down and back and forth to the positive wiring harness in there. that Kia dealer cannot figure out. Add another mechanic figure it out.

This happened twice in 10 days. Once while driving and once in parking mode with vehicle on - suddenly the vehicle loses power, cannot accelerate, power steering is lost, and 3 panel lights turn on simultaneously: battery, oil, check engine. Both times by turning off and restarting engine I have been able to continue driving, power is restored and panel lights turn off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 kia sportage. While driving 55 MPH and making a right turn, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle traveled to the left instead. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

While driving , especially on the highway, the vehicle veers slightly to left or right and takes constant corrections to keep it driving straight. The steering requires constant over corrections and the steering also feels very loose. It feels like driving on ice.
