There is a loud clanking noise when steering or hitting bumps. This happens over time and has significantly gotten worse. It seems to be unsafe now and my vehicle is even below 100K miles so this should not be an issue at all.

On interstate 675 North-ga car stalled, lost power to the engine, eps light, check engine light, oil light came on on the instrument panel, no power steering. I had to cross two lanes of interstate traffic to try to make it safely to the shoulder. My car wouldn't turn over or start. I let the car sit for an hour and tried again to start it. I received no notice of any recalls from the dealer or the manufacturer. It was a dangerous situation to be in on the interstate or anywhere for that matter.

While driving or at an idling position when the steering wheel is straight and you move it left or right about an inch there is a clicking noise. It also does this while driving at any speed. It's been going on for about 3wks now. I called the recall corporate office and apparently there are no recalls for this however, there are now 120 complaints for this same problem... is something going to be done or are we waiting for an accident to happen??

Back in 2016 the steering recall issue was repaired on my vehicle. In fed 2017 during the 50K mile warranty inspection Kia replaced the power steering assembly. About a week ago my steering began to have the same issue, lots of play in the steering wheel, vibrations felt through the pedals into the steering. Kia is now saying it has nothing to do with the recall that it is normal wear and tear. I have never heard of normal wear and tear to a vehicle steering shaft or assembly. While driving the steering is vibrating and does not feel totally connected to the wheels.

The steering sticks and there is obvious evidence of resistance while driving. I took it to patterson Kia in arlington, tx and they performed a software update. This is a mechanical issue and of great safety concerns. This is subsequent to prior recall service performed on the steering.

There is a small rubber-like coupling in the steering mechanism. It failed and produced about a quarter turn of slack in the steering wheel. In reading to online posts it appears that failure is common. The parts technician at the Kia dealership didn't need to look up the part number...he just reached in a drawer nearby and pulled a new one out. The problem changed from a occasional click to very sloppy steering while driving on a 2 mile stretch of rutted road at approximately 10 mph.. I have attached a picture of the failed part and one of the new part.

Takara recall: My engine had been knocking/shaking for a good minute now. When I have it running and hood open it's just vibrating extremely hard and constantly.I've noticed it wants to stall or no shift correctly after a dead stop and something going into 3rd gear. Even while just idling I can feel the engine shaking the whole car from inside.
