Kia Recalls Soul Steering Pinion Problems for the 3rd Time
Kia is recalling the 2014-2016 Kia Soul and Soul EV because previous recalls didn’t work. [The car’s] pinion plugs can allow the pinion gears to separate from the steering gear assemblies. That's king-size trouble for a driver because all steering control will be lost while traveling at any speed.
The [first recall](http://www.kiacomplaints.com /news/2014/kia-recalls-51k-souls/) was made back in 2014 with a follow-up recall the next year. A 3rd recall? It’s time Kia does some Soul searching … you had to know that was coming.
