| Steering wheel makes a faint but noticeable creaking noise when turned at parking speeds. Repair attempted, partly helped, but noise is still there. Will wait to see if it gets worse before re-submitting for repair. | |
| 4700 mi | They eventually found and fixed the real issue that made the steering creak (insufficient lubricant). |
| 21000 mi | Big squeaking / squealing noise coming from driver's front tire area. Was determined to be an issue with the front left lower ball joint. They replaced the complete control arm assembly. |
| 14700 mi | Clicking noise came through the steering column when turning the wheel. Shims had to be installed. No more noise. |
