First problem has presented itself. Steering noise?
I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this on their car. I just noticed this today driving in the parking lot.
Making a 'hard' turn at around 5-10 miles an hour, I'm noticing a strange clicking sound coming from the front driver's side. The noise can be heard whether turning left or right, but it only heard on that side. Almost sounds like as if something tugging or getting stuck. There's not resistance in turning or anything, just the noise.
Anyone else having this issue? I'm dropping the car off Tuesday to have it checked out.

So it was a problem with the steering rack. Replaced under warranty. Now, no noises whatsoever.

Now, that there is a possible solution, i want to take it back and have them check the steering rack. Not sure how I am going to convince them that that is the solution.
Can you post the explanation your Service Rep gave in the paperwork?
