🔧 Telescopic Steering Wheel Coming Loose on 2025 Sportage XLine — Anyone Else?
Hi everyone,
I own a 2025 Kia Sportage XLine and I've run into an odd issue with the telescopic steering wheel. When I pull it all the way toward me, there seems to be no stopper or locking mechanism — it just slides out completely from its housing, as if there's no limit built in.
I find this pretty surprising for a vehicle in this class, and I'm wondering whether it's a manufacturing defect, an assembly oversight, or simply a design feature. Have any of you experienced the same thing with your 2025 Sportage XLine?
I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help!
