A verified recall to kia optima is in place for the "steering coupler" which I own. I also own a 2014 kia cadenza that is having the same problem. This should be part of the recall as it is the same product of bot cars made. Just because the sales volume of the cadenza is less than the optima does not change to the safety of the recall and should included as recall of the manufactured part no the style of the car. I have the same problem in both kia's that we own, the kia dealer acknowledges that are the same part, but refuse to accept responsibly; to repair as the cadenza is not part of the recall. As a consumer this makes no sense. A failed product is a failed product and should not matter what car is it installed on.
2014 Kia Cadenza steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On saturday - november 22, 2014 around 6:30 pm the car engine stopped and car rolled for few feet and stopped in the middle of the street. Also steering jammed and didn't move. It was stopped and didn't start back on and steering became very hard to crank it. The battery was running fine. Due to electrical and/or mechanical failure we were exposed to the unsafe environment. Fortunately, we were not on the busy street/freeway otherwise it could have been ended up in major safety incident. When this happened, we couldn't maneuver the steering resulting in situation totally out of control.
