| Description of the problem | While drive at slow speeds of about 5 to 10 mph there is a ticking/squeaking from the right front. It goes away at higher speeds. I have been in to the dealer 4 time, reported it to kia corp. And the regional office called to tell me they are aware of the noise, it is a part issue, that over 30% of this model made in 2013 have the problem and they are working on a solution. That was several days ago. If they know there is a problem then they should be made to recall the cars and replace the parts in question. |
