Why is the steering in my Kia Sportage feeling heavy?

I've noticed that the steering in my Kia Sportage has been feeling heavier than usual. It's making it more difficult to turn and control the car. What could be causing this issue?

It could be due to low power steering fluid levels. Check the fluid level and top up if necessary.

Your power steering belt may be worn or loose. Get it checked and replaced if needed.

Your steering rack or pump may be failing. This will require professional diagnosis and repair.
