Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing power steering failure due to a variety of issues, including low power steering fluid levels, which are essential for the system's proper functioning. Additionally, leaks in the power steering fluid can lead to significant problems, necessitating regular inspections of components like the power steering pump and hoses to detect any potential leaks early. Some owners also report electric power steering failures, which may manifest as high-pitched noises from the EPS motor that worsen over time. Furthermore, issues such as the steering wheel not returning to center may indicate problems with the steering rack or worn components. In cases where a clogged filter is identified as the cause of power steering failure after extensive repairs, it highlights the importance of thorough maintenance and oversight during repair processes to prevent such complications.
