What's wrong?
The main wiring harness on the 2024 Kia Sorento is the electrical bundle that carries power and signals between vehicle systems. It includes the wiring for the motor driven power steering system, which uses an electric motor to reduce the effort needed to turn the wheel. When the harness is built and connected correctly, the steering assist responds as the driver turns.
On affected Sorentos, the MDPS wire harness was improperly assembled by the supplier. Because the harness is not assembled as designed, the power steering assist can stop working. The steering wheel still turns, but it takes more effort, especially at lower speeds or during parking maneuvers.
The warning sign is illumination of the MDPS warning light. If that light comes on, the steering assist has a fault and the vehicle needs Kia dealer attention.
