After the steering wheel was replaced under warranty, I had to pay for a front end alignment because the dealer didn't correctly align the steering wheel to orient properly when driving car straight ahead. 
78000 mi We have two cubes and noticed the 2010's steering is heavier than our 2014's. Was concerned about wear in lower steering U-joint some owners have reported in forums. Dealer tested steering weight and determined it fell within factory spec. 
38440 mi Stabilizer links had worn out causing the front end to rattle over bumps. 
57040 mi The upper strut mount bearing were sticking, making a clicking noise when turning. Both sides were replaced under warranty. 
106020 mi Unknown clunk sound when pulling away from a stop. Mechanic able to replicate problem but unable to locate source. No cost. 
29000 mi Clunk felt in steering when taking very low speed turns, e.g., while parking. Dealer replaced u-joint under warranty. No more clunking. However, steering wheel is now off-center. U joint had been replaced during previous visit, and steering wheel ended up being off-center. Dealer adjusted steering wheel during this visit.
