Steering Noise problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Soul

2013 kia Soul is making a clicking noise when I turn my steering wheel. It makes one click noise once I start turn the wheel. When I stop moving it and try to move it again it clicks. Vehicle mileage: 63,667.

When driving or in park steering makes loud clicking noise if turned left or right. This happens at all speeds and in all driving conditions. It is steadily getting louder and worse. The noise is coming from the steering column area. Steering does not feel stable. There is a 2014 kia Soul recall that seems to be for same problem. This recall should be expanded to cover the 2013 models.

Last year I took my vehicle to billion auto in iowa city (2 hours from where I live) to get my recall serviced. At this time my vehicle was losing power. When I took it to the dealership they had it in and out in 15-20 minutes and they said only had to do an update. Which was irritating, considering I had asked them to check my catalytic converter and they didn't. Because prior to that a mechanic in my town thought something could have been wrong with it. Well here I am in 2020, and I went back to this dealership (this is the only kia in my area). Last year in may there was a recall for the mdps coupling. The letter also stated that they extended the warranty to 100,000 miles- I'm right around 96,500 miles so I am still covered. I called the dealership and asked to get it fixed since I was experiencing noises in my steering wheel turning left or right/ and when vehicle is stopped. They said yes, I spoke with the service advisor and he told me that I would be covered. So I took my car up there Thursday the 28th to get this serviced. Another worker told me in person my coupling wasn't that bad, and I could always come back in the future to get it repaired. He then further told me that my power-steering rack was making a little noise too, but that wouldn't need to be repaired for another 5-10 years. Then he charged me $65 dollars for a diagnostic fee, which is completely wrong. I called kia cooperate, spoke with numerous of folks. I was told on Thursday by cooperate that they called the dealership and told them my complaint. But there was nothing they could do. So I called cooperate back demanding to talk to my case worker, victoria. Which she hasn't called me back. I feel like they aren't taking me serious. I've had two past recalls on this vehicle, and wasn't handled appropriately. I also shouldn't of been charged a diagnostic fee. I want a refund as well.

The vehicle present a grinding noise while steering on any direction. While getting it checked at the local kia dealership they diagnosed the issue on the steering which was apparently part of a recall from kia, a few days later the issue on the steering was present again and the local kia dealership is now charging me around 1,900 dollars for the repair even though it all started trough a manufacturer recall. .

Clunking noise from steering wheel when I go on a bumpy road or turn steering wheel from side to side. While in motion or stationary.

Loud bumping noise in the steering.

Oli light does not come on when my oil is low. My 2013 kia Soul burns oil quickly had my oil changed 2 weeks ago checked yesterday the dip stick was almost dry at not time did my oil light come on. My steering wheel makes noise when I move left or right it makes a clicking noise, steering wheel feels likes it locks at time when driving on the high way.

At around 60,000 miles, began to notice clunking noise and slight wobble with steering column. At first it was minimal, but has gotten progressively worse and now hear new squeaking/grinding noises when turning at lower speeds or when stopped. Recently researched and saw that many other people have been experiencing this same issue with this model (the 2010-2013 builds), with a video regarding this issue on youtube having more than 40,000 views as of writing this (https://youtu. Be/j3u0khplz8c). The same steering coupler parts that were deemed defective for other recalled models from kia/Hyundai appear to be the same ones used in the 2013 kia Soul (and others that have not been recalled). .

Clicking noise heard when steering wheel turned. Progressed to clunking in wheel while turning and shaking on rough road surfaces at any speed.

For cable cooler ( steering) brakes causing a clunking noise and makes steering sloppy. Danger rating 7. 6 should be recalled!.

There is a clunking noise in the steering and play when the car engine is running. This happens while the car is stationary and moving. Appears to be the power steering motor damper that has affected many Hyundai and kia models. Vehicle currently has 58,000 miles on it.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 kia Soul. While driving approximately 40-45 mph, there was a clicking noise coming from the steering area. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, an appointment was made with an independent mechanic. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

The steering wheel became loose with much "play" in steering and a clicking noise from the steering lock. This happens both stationary with the car on in park and when driving. I have had alignment and suspension checked and it is not apparently the issue. Apparently the steering shaft becomes loose where it is coupled with the steering gear/rack. This loose steering is very dangerous as when steering around curves the car steering actually pulls on the road so I now go much slower around curves than is posted on speed signs to avoid loosing control of my vehicle. When I go over uneven roads or bumps the car also shifts and pulls as I do not have full control over the steering. When I brake at speeds over about 40mph I notice that there is also this same play in the steering so I make sure I am considerably a far distance behind another vehicle in order to stop slowly. I feel that this is a very dangerous problem with the 2012 kia Soul and have noticed upon researching online that the kia optima has a similar problem which was eventually recalled for repair.

There was a clicking noise coming from the steering column everytime it moved even a fraction of an inch. As I was driving to work one morning, the steering wheel locked up on me while I was changing lanes. It was only for 5-10 seconds but it scared me. It was a dangerous situation. There is a recall on this make model and year for the exact same issue. My car missed it by a few days, literally. Several certified techs, including the kia dealership techs all confirmed that it was similar to the recall with steering column issues. The dealership fixed it but I had to pay for it.

Noise in steering column . Mechanic noticed it as well when I took it in for an oil change!.

For 5 months there has been a thumping noise in the steering column when turning 2 complete revolutions when parking or truning into a drive thru lane and just 3 days ago my steering wheel seems like it jumped a notch and although its still driving straight the steering wheel has changed position about 5 to 7 degrees to the left. . .
