I took my car for the engine recall,my Kia Optima 2012 is my dream car,but now it has other issues .
It feels very unsafe due to a clicking loud sound coming from the steering column every time I turn it.
I am still making payments on my car and I love my car but I don’t feel safe driving it.
What is the problem now?
You guys need to make a new recall on the steering column this is dangerous please and it’s not just my car there’s others I know that has this issue.please we love our cars.
Thank you
