2015 S550 squeaky steering wheel. Help. !!!
I have a 2015 S 550 that has a very squeaky steering wheel that sounds like a creaking wood bed when you turn the wheel, Even when the vehicle is in park. The sound is in the steering column not wheel bearings or anything like that. There is only 35,000 miles on this vehicle.
I would appreciate if anyone else has had this experience and how it was resolved. Thank you very much John

Factory warranty expires 4 years/50,000 miles whichever comes first. If, in fact, expired within 30-90 days request goodwill repair from MBUSA http://mercedes-benz.custhelp.com/ap...es-benz-usa%3F

MB is aware is this issue and there is a dedicated fix, I just can't remember what it was but something in the steering column needed to be replaced

Wow, I will follow up with them. Thank you for the info. I have another issue that also was not covered under CPO, problem is not fixed, but they charged me for a rear axle. I get a buzzing/humming drone noise from 56 mph up to about 68 mph. Can recreate every time as long as road is smooth and dry. Unrelated to transmission/steering/turning/brakes/tires/driving around a bend, its an annoying hum. Suspension raised/ lowered/ sport mode/comfort mode, no change. Sounds like its from the rear. Trying to locate TSB on it or if anyone else had the issue repaired.
