My car started to make these clicking sounds when I would turn my steering wheel while driving. I guess I just ignored the sounds or didn't think that it was anything major. As time has passed, the sound has gotten louder and my steering wheel/column feels very loose and unsafe while I'm driving.

I looked online to see if this was something that has been recalled by Kia, only to find out there has not been a recall on this issue even though there already has been several complaints to Kia with the exact/same complaint.

After finding out that others have complained about the same issue, I called the service department at the dealership that I take my car for service. I told them of my problem and asked if this is something that the manufacture would repair or is this something that I am supposed to repair on my own? The person told me that he would take my name and number and talk to the service manager and he would get back with me. Although it's only been four days I still have not heard from the Kia service manager to let me what my options are.

It's obvious that the steering columns in these vehicles are all flawed, but I am assuming that since there has not been any death surrounding this issue, Kia is not taking the responsibility for this problem.

I took my car to get a oil change and the guy that was moving the car was so worried about the steering. He stated that I needed to get it serviced at the Kia dealership ASAP. The steering seems to be clicking and when I hit a small dip or pothole in the road it clicks. I was told that this is not covered by the warranty with the vehicle which I think is crazy. I could see if it was something that I did I would take care of that repair. However there are a lot of other people that are having this same problem. I'm really thinking about trading in this vehicle and moving on to someone who does take care of their cars and customers.

So like everyone else here, the issues with the Electronic Power Steering persists. The local dealer that I went to in Charlotte, NC said that it was a "sport mode" issue with the computer and they would put it in "regular mode" for free to fix it. It certainly did nothing to correct the issue. The car feels like it wanders while driving on the highway and I have to CONSTANTLY have to readjust the steering. I have to be constantly vigilant in steering and it is really starting to concern me. I have a baby on the way and I'm a little freaked out about putting her in my car. This is literally the only problem that I've ever had with my KIA. I absolutely love the car, except for this one issue.

I first noticed this issue 2 months after buying the car in June 2012. Here's the problem: When driving over 50mph, the car pulls to the left, when corrected, it pulls to the right; It really hard to keep this car in a straight line. I first reported this issue to my local dealer during the first service visit and 3 more times after that. Their response is always the same "car performance is as specified by manufacturer" or "we couldn't find anything wrong with it" I thought I was going crazy but my son couldn't belive how loose the steering was when he drove it. He's a mechanic himself.

Today, 3 years later and the issue is way worse. Now I hear a loud clicking noise coming from the steering column every time I turn the wheel.

The situation is so bad I'm scared to drive my car on the highway. It feels like I will lose control over the vehicle while driving it. I took it to the shop next to my house and they said it would cost over $1500 to replace the steering column. Based on my experience, it's always more than the initial quote.

I love this car but I'm extremely unhappy and disappointed at this time. Please help!
