Does it sound like a rodent? Seriously? I have had this happen a couple times and I can’t figure out what causes it. It seems to definitely be coming from underneath the steering column and, like you, it’s not just when I’m turning. Freaked me out one morning on the way to work - it really sounded like a rodent in the works.Hey all! I'm curious if anyone has had a similar issue with their 2022 Sorento (or any other KIa for that matter). I am noticing that when I drive the car for a long period of time, there's a squeaking noise in the steering wheel when I am keeping the car steady. When I fully turn the car, no noise - only when I am keeping the vehicle straight.
I took the car into the dealership last week, and they said they updated the Power Steering settings in the computer of the car, but still having some trouble. Curious to see if this has happened with anyone else, and if so what was the fix? The car is still brand new (just over 1k miles).
Thank you in advance!
It does! I’ve noticed the squeaking noise comes and goes, and definitely gets worse the longer I am driving the car. Usually takes about 25 minutes for me to get to work, and starts squeaking within about 10 minutes of my drive. Luckily, I got a video of it this time around so hopefully that'll help the mechanic with diagnosing the issue.Does it sound like a rodent? Seriously?

I cannot replicate it - it has happened twice - 2022 PHEV with 6,500 miles.

I notice it does happen more frequently in colder temperatures as well - glad to know I'm not the only one! We took it for a drive a few days ago when it was in the single digits and noticed the squeaking was pretty prominent then. The past two days it's been near the 30s and the car doesn't squeak hardly at all.Hello,
We got the 2022 PHEV a few months ago and we are having this exact squeak issue with our steering. The dealer thought we are crazy. It's hard to replicate and it's unpredictable . We had a theory it happens most in cold weather, but that may not be the case. Like you and others have said it seems to happen most with small movements of the wheel. It's so frustrating. We also had an external door handle break. I'm worried about the quality on these.... I'm taking the vehicle in to get the handle fixed this week and am going to bring up the squeak again. I'm printing off this thread and we got it on video too.

Joining the squeaky 2022 Sorento club. I have had mine two months and it’s a horrible inconsistent tortured mouse squeak. The squeak is coming from the far left side on the driver side. It only happens when car is moving. It’s random, and of course didn’t do it for the KIA technician yesterday. They said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. It’s still squeaking. I’m going to try to record it next time. I hate driving this vehicle, when it’s screaming at me. I’m in the Midwest and we have had a variety of temperatures. My Sorento squeaks in any temperature, rain, snow or sunshine. Any help figuring what’s causing this, is greatly appreciated.I notice it does happen more frequently in colder temperatures as well - glad to know I'm not the only one!

I got my 2022 Kia Sorento SX in January this year, and I've had the same problem. I took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic test or something on it and found out that the squeaking indicated that I needed a new steering column.. Luckily I'm covered by my warranty and don't have to pay anything. Getting it fixed on Tuesday.. I hope this possibly helps.
I wouldn't call them fools. Noise issues are hard to diagnose, and they'd really be fools to replace a part based on a customer's report alone.Yes, same thing here. It drives me crazy when I do 200-300 KMs run. The dealer is aware of the issue, but can only act if I bring it in when it’s making the noise, fools.
If you want you can stop on the side, and do a couple of full left right rotation back and forth, this will stop it for a while...
Here is a video of the squeaking. It for sure is coming from the steering wheel/gauge cluster area.Wow, i thought i would be the only one! i just purchased my 22 Sorento X-Line S and noticed a squeaking/rattling sound from the driver side. I feel it mostly comes from the left small speaker. I recently had a dash cam installed and thought maybe there was a loose wire rattling somewhere but good to know its just a Kia issue.
I just drove a 800 mile round trip to Sequoia national park and that squeaking noise was the most annoying thing ever. I feel the sound was stronger when i would go over bumpy/uneven roads. i will try to record it later on today. I hope i can get this issue fixed soon!
