| Description of the problem | I have 2015 kia soul. The kia has 34,000 something miles on it. I was driving it, and when i make left and right turns in the kia it makes a loud popping sound in the steering column. I was driving home today from work and when i made a left turn it was loud popping sound again. I'm very scared that it's going to cause me to have steering problems and i have wreck loosing control of steering. I heard the popping sound week ago from today and it wasn't that bad, but week has gone by the sound is more there then it was before when your driving and turning left or right in the kia soul. |
