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.

Sounds like the front CV joints. Might want to take it to the dealer.

One of the 45's at the academy was doing the same thing. They kept it in service for the day so IDK what it was, but it does sound like CV to me as well.

I get that as well. It's a strange noise that sounds like a tube going in and out.

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

I had the same problem for a couple of months. i had the car in the shop 3 times for the noise. They contacted MB and they said it is a known issue with the CLA ( and sounds like GLA as well) and they are fixing it.

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?
