My 2016 Sorento loses power steering and electric stabilizing. Plus battery and engine light comes on. Replaced the battery and the alternator but still get warning lights. Battery still draining while driving it so the alternator is not properly working, but it's brand new. What is going on???

I picked up a small digital voltage read out that plugs into the PowerPoint/cigarette lighter. When ours acted up I found the voltage after start up would start dropping. When it dropped to 9 volts the light would come on and when it hit around 7 it would die. If I brought the RPMs up above 3K when the voltage was below 12 it would start changing at 13.5-14.8. I went to a junk yard bought a used Kia alternator for 30 bucks to replace the AC Delco that had been installed before. It's been about 6 months and no more issues.

Im having the same issue with my 2011 Kia Sorento. Is not the battery or alternator. They advise to bring the car to a shop to check any electrical issue or directly to the Kia dealer. Did anyone find out what could be?
Also my car won’t lock at all and is not the key either.
