I've noticed a plastic kind of noise coming from the steering wheel when I'm parked and turning the wheel from left to right and vice versa. Has anyone else noticed this? Probably nothing serious, just brothers me. Thanks in advance

Yes, it happened to mine after the wiring harness recall. Have you had the recall done?

Mine clicks from center to lock twice on each side (left to right).

I've checked my vin# 2 days ago and so far no recall for my vehicle.

Mines clicked from almost new. Started at approx 2000 miles comes in and off makes a click noise either left or right turn.

Did you have any recall performed prior to this noise?

No I haven't. That airbag recall didn't apply to my truck. Its the slip ring or whatever they call it. Odd that it's intermittent, currently not doing it. But then it comes and goes.

If it's almost like a faint scratching type noise, It's normal. Every new truck I've driven does it, it's coming from the clock spring. Doesn't hurt to take it in though, just to be sure.

I think it might be the clockspring as I remember some 14s needing theirs replaced.

That's what I meant to say instead of the word slip ring. Its the clock spring . riding it out until the bumper to bumper warranty comes closer then take the shopping list to the dealer to fix.

I've got the same issue in my new Sport . . . so what's the fix, or is it normal? It's faint enough that I could live with it if the repair is more involved than its worth . . . Thanks.

Was the dealership able to duplicate your concern or were they unable to find a repair? – Kevin T, Social Connect Team

Mine did this then quit. It started after the steering wheel harness recall was performed.
