Description of the problem	Backing up my car under the carport, as i was parked straightening my wheels, i heard clicking with each turn. Husband checked and found the same concern. Took car to kia dealer the next day. They were going to try to replace the small plastic part in the column. Discovered they could not and now i have to purchase a new steering column at a total cost of $1,818. 36. Ouch! I have never experienced this before. My last kia lasted 13 years with no major problems. This is extremely disappointing and unnerving.
