My 2012 kia Soul steering started to make a clunking sound. The steering wheel also felt loose . The vehicle has 81,465 miles on it. I first noticed it yesterday. I brought the Soul to my local dealership the next day. The steering coupling had failed (fp# 56315-2k000fff). Cost of the repair was $432. 60 after the kia dealership applied a 15% costco discount. The part is only $7 but it's the labor that increases the cost of the repair. Many other people have reported the same problem to NHTSA. Another kia vehicle (I believe the optima) uses the same coupler and that vehicle has a recall notice. The 2012 Soul uses the same coupler as the recalled vehicle but does not have a recall issued. Any 2012 Soul that uses this coupling should be recalled. Loss of steering could happen if this coupling fails completely. The coupling that failed in my 2012 Soul felt soft and could be easily be squeezed. The new coupling that replaced it felt much harder. Apparently, the new coupling is made from a different material. I have attached photos of the failed coupling. This coupling should be a recall issue.

Kia Soul steering assembly failure (temporary) when turning the 2010 kia Soul sharply (as far as it will go either right or left) and attempting to straighten the wheel quickly after turning results in the entire steering wheel tightening to where you cannot turn it for a couple seconds as though it locks up. Also, when idle, turning the steering wheel results in a tugging sensation from the power steering pump that vibrates through the steering wheel.
