Kia sedona 2008
First step, check your p/s fluid level. Make sure you got enough oil in there. Ps, these cars prefer a good dextron 3 oil over just normal ATF.
Do you get any noise when it goes stiff? If so it may require bleeding
You may have a restriction in the line or tank.

I had the same thing (hard to turn, especially in cold temps, wouldn't return to straight.....). Since the power steering fluid was full, I decided it had to be "gunk" in the fluid, so I took my '03 Kia Sedona in to have the power steering fluid flushed & filled (over $100 I think!).
No better. So I took it to another mechanic and he said that the "U-Bolt" had frozen up. He changed it (part was $117 and labor was 2 hours, for a total cost of $350ish) and it's good as new now!

Sounds like a bad steering rack & pinion assembly... is it only bad in one direction or both...?
If both then it's the rack assembly... Hope this helps...;-)

sounds like either the power steering pump or the power steering rack is failing.
SOURCE: power steering is stiff some times on my kia
It might be a failing power steering rack as well...classic symptoms are very stiff when first starting vehicle or at a stoplight, then loosens up as rpms increase.
