Why does my Kia Rio's steering wheel feel stiff?

My Kia Rio's steering wheel is feeling stiff and difficult to turn. It's not a huge problem, but it's definitely not as smooth as it used to be. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It's possible that your power steering fluid is low or dirty. Try checking and topping off the fluid to see if that helps with the stiffness.

Have you recently hit any large potholes or curbs? It's possible that damage to the steering components could be causing the stiffness. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to get it checked out.

It's important to regularly get your car's steering system checked and serviced. The stiffness could be a sign of wear and tear on the parts. I suggest scheduling a maintenance appointment with your dealership.
