Problem overview

Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle pulling to the right when braking or releasing acceleration after reconnecting a sensor wire. This problem may stem from the braking system, where a caliper might not be releasing properly or a pad could be binding, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions. Additionally, alignment issues are a common cause, as misalignment can affect the vehicle's trajectory without causing vibrations. Tire pressure discrepancies can also contribute to this pulling sensation, particularly if one tire is lower than the others. Furthermore, worn suspension components may complicate the situation, requiring more extensive repairs. Lastly, various brake system troubles, such as a sticking piston or frozen components, can exacerbate this issue. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to maintain driving safety and comfort.
