Filed Mar 2, 2020 · Steering · 40 miles · FL

The vehicle present grinding noise while turning to the left or righ when driving. I went to the dealer and after they checked my car they told me to increase the volume of the radio so I do not have to hear the noise because it is not a safety problem.

The vehicle present a grinding noise while steering on any direction. While getting it checked at the local kia dealership they diagnosed the issue on the steering which was apparently part of a recall from kia, a few days later the issue on the steering was present again and the local kia dealership is now charging me around 1,900 dollars for the repair even though it all started trough a manufacturer recall..

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).

Arrythmical clicking/grinding sound from steering column at slower speeds and while stopped when steering wheel turned left or right. Seems to be a common problem with the kia soul yet only 2014 through 2015 models were affected by a recall?

Cruise control has unintended acceleration. Also has random turn offs. Also the way it turns on in cannot slow down during turn on unless you press the slow (set - ) button a second time. Different than american. Dangerous. Sometimes cruise control engages with the resume button, sometimes not. Suspension: during a turn on highway at 45 mi hour car hops over when you hit even a small bump. Makes you feel like you will lose control of the car. Never had a car in 40 years that did this. Lighting: automatic lights turn off, and change position function due to poor design on tip of blinker stick. Results in lights not coming on at dusk when expected. Steering: does not hold a straight line on a windy day on flat highway roads. Same road 15 year old 100k mile car we traded in was fine no problem with that. Engine: shakes terrible at at idle whether in park, neutral, drive or with or without A/C on. No matter. Transmission: grinding noise turning left louder than right. Told dealr all these things, they denied it and wouldn't fix. Huge bang as car slows down when transmission downshifts. Lurches forward as you try to stop, making you pass your expected stop point. Gas mileage low: 26 or so, old car had 120 hp more and got 31mpg on highway and was 700 pounds heavier. Dealer had already removed sticker before we picked up car. Ongoing.

Brand new car purchased 04/06/13 and has 2900 miles and brakes squeak. Brakes have been squeaking since may but unable to leave it due to long periods of waiting for car. Was told by service manager that brakes are glazed and its common and happens and they will deglaze but it will keep happening because its just the brakes. I have owned and driven many cars and never had this problem prior to this vehicle and the van I have that is also manufactured by the same parent company and had the same problems. I was told that it glazed because my van was heavy but this new car is very small and light. A customer in the waiting area said he has never heard of glazing and worked on cars for 30 years. I believe that these cars made from hyundai/kia are made with cheap parts that have to be replaced often and that's how the make up for cheaply sold cars. I need help figuring out how to fix this problem.
