2013 Kia Optima Wheels Problems

“When I am driving more than 65 MPH, my steering wheel shakes for 3 seconds, stops, and then continues until I go under 65 MPH. When I drive over a bump or object, it shakes as well. There is a loud clicking when turn the wheel left or right.”

“When I'm driving at any speed and on any surface driving over the slightest bump the steering wheel makes a clanking sound also the car is pulling to the right my front tires are wearing out on the upperoutside of the tire the part of tire that touches the road. I have looked on web to see if anyone else has had a issue with this what I found was that it may be the steering coupler.

I busted my head open and received 3 staples and knee shoved in dash but not 1 air bag in this vehicle deployed!! …”

Over the next few days, these drifting experiences lingered.
