Steering Noise problems of the 2010 Kia Motor Forte

When the steering turns every time, it makes a clicking noise. After the clicking noise started happening, I often hear metal to metal contact noise from the steering wheel when I drive on bumpy roads. The problem is caused by the faulty steering coupling inside of the steering motor. Although the 2010 elantra which shares the same platform and the steering motor with 2010 kia Forte was recalled due to same issue, 2010 kia Forte was not recalled.

On sept 30, 2016 I noticed a popping noise in my steering wheel, after looking online for reasons it could be doing so, I decided to take into the dealership to have it checked out. Thinking it could be a coupling as stated in review that I have seen. Kia of auburn, called and said that I needed my steering column replaced. A steering column just doesn't go out. There hasn't been no major damage to the front end besides a small fender bender. Cost is going to be over $800. Like I said a steering column just doesn't go out. This should be checked into.

The contact owns a 2010 kia Forte. While pulling out of the driveway, the contact heard a clicking noise emerging from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the steering coupler needed replacement. The failure occurred every day for the past four months. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
