Consumer Description

WHEN THE STEERING TURNS EVERY TIME, IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. AFTER THE CLICKING NOISE STARTED HAPPENING, I OFTEN HEAR METAL TO METAL CONTACT NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I DRIVE ON BUMPY ROADS. THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE FAULTY STEERING COUPLING INSIDE OF THE STEERING MOTOR. ALTHOUGH THE 2010 ELANTRA WHICH SHARES THE SAME PLATFORM AND THE STEERING MOTOR WITH 2010 KIA FORTE WAS RECALLED DUE TO SAME ISSUE, 2010 KIA FORTE WAS NOT RECALLED.
