Description of the problem	At around 60,000 miles, began to notice clunking noise and slight wobble with steering column. At first it was minimal, but has gotten progressively worse and now hear new squeaking/grinding noises when turning at lower speeds or when stopped. Recently researched and saw that many other people have been experiencing this same issue with this model (the 2010-2013 builds), with a video regarding this issue on youtube having more than 40,000 views as of writing this (https://youtu. Be/j3u0khplz8c). The same steering coupler parts that were deemed defective for other recalled models from kia/hyundai appear to be the same ones used in the 2013 kia soul (and others that have not been recalled).
