Description of the problem | Loud clicking noise in steering while driving, hard to turn at times and very loud rattling while driving on rough roads. My daughter uses this car due to better gas milage than hers to go to college sometimes and i also carry my 2 year old granddaughter in this car and have had no problems before now and thought i purchased a safe car all around but being that nothing is getting done about this possible safety issue i am concerned. I would have recommended a kia to anyone till now and now just not sure. |
