My son complained of a clicking sound from the steering wheel when he drove his car.

This knocking, clicking, rattling noise started after Kia had a recall and replaced the block in my vehicle. I have taken the vehicle to Kia of Greenville several times with no avail to getting the problem resolve as they said they did not do anything to cause the problem.
The noise has progressively gotten worse and now even when you turn the steering wheel while at a stand still it clicks. While driving it just starts vibrating and clicking. If you hit a bump, it sounds as if the car is about to fall apart.
There have been instances when the steering felt locked while driving.

WHEN STEERING THE VEHICLE, IN MOTION OR STILL, THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. GOING OVER ANY BUMP IT RATTLES. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I"M CONCERNED THAT THE STERRING WHEEL MAY LOCK UP.

I am so over this car - I would never buy another Kia. I have had nothing but trouble with this new engine which they have yet to reimburse me for including the tow bill and other charges made during that time. The paint is coming off and it looks like a hunk of crap. Now the steering is doing crazy things - I have had 2 alignments and three sets of tires. The steering sounds like it's going to fall off. You hit a bump and it rattles. go over 55 and it vibrates so bad it takes two hands to hold it on the road. I had to replace the starter 2 times and was stranded 2 times because it wouldn't start. I will never buy another Kia - this is my second one. I purchased a Sorento the first time and loved it but this car is a piece of JUNK. I'm not happy with all the coat of keeping it running. I have spent several hundreds of dollars on this car and I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm ready to get rid of it and get something different and not a Kia. I recommended Kia cars to several of my friends and regret doing that. Kia made it - now fix it.
