1 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2019

I took my 2015 kia Soul to miami lakes kia twice in December 2019, to check a clicking noise when turning both left and right, more consistently when turning right. I'm not sure but I have an inkling that this noise may be related to a problem with the steering column, cv joints or the axle. When I picked up my car the 1st time, as I made a right turn, I heard the same clicking noise. I called service and let them know that I still heard the noise. I returned my car a week later and took a test ride with two technicians, one technician informed me that the �the noise needed to be louder� for them to repair it. His claim seems unreasonable, especially since everyone who rides in my car hears the clicking noise, and there is obviously a mechanical issue with the car's steering or something related. I had my car checked at tires plus, the clicking noise was duplicated on the test drive and the mechanic informed me that this is a �recall� issue and to take my car to the dealer. Also, on February 21, 2020, the car battery that I purchased on July 31, 2018, died. This battery did not last 18 months (36 month warranty).

2 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2017

I have 2015 kia Soul. The kia has 34,000 something miles on it. I was driving it, and when I make left and right turns in the kia it makes a loud popping sound in the steering column. I was driving home today from work and when I made a left turn it was loud popping sound again. I'm very scared that it's going to cause me to have steering problems and I have wreck loosing control of steering. I heard the popping sound week ago from today and it wasn't that bad, but week has gone by the sound is more there then it was before when your driving and turning left or right in the kia Soul.
