Squeaky steering wheel?

244 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Digid
First time EV owner here, so this may be prevalent in EV as the ICE sound may obscure other noises. When only in reverse and backing in a counter-clockwise direction, the steering wheel, or column, or perhaps something else is resulting in a squeaky noise. It’s momentary and only occurs in this scenario, especially when the steering wheel is mostly cranked clockwise. Has anyone else noticed this?

Some early deliveries last year were recalled because of a loose steering wheel, but has been fixed - You may want to check on that.
I checked several weeks ago and confirmed my vehicle is inapplicable to the recall. I even did the infamous steering wheel “wiggle” test and nothing. But, I suppose from what you’re saying, the noise is peculiar.

Mine doesn't squeak, and no one else here has commented on that specifically...
I noticed this today for the first time as well. Will investigate further.
