| Description of the problem | Flexible coupling is damaged, steering wheel noisy, rattling noise, worry about safety steering might not work and cause accident or death due to malfunction. Went to dealership and told me it would cost $200. 00 and it is likely that it would do it again. Very disappointed with kia vehicles , definitely would never buy a kia vehicle again. |
