Friends: 2 | Re: Plastic part on Steering Wheel squeaks Hadn't noticed the squeek, but if you let the steering wheel freely turn back after a sharp turn, the edge of the plastic can catch on your hand. Does not feel good and now that I've noticed it, it annoys me. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Plastic part on Steering Wheel squeaks I've noticed the same thing. Very annoying. It seems to be only the left one, too. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Plastic part on Steering Wheel squeaks I'm having the same problem, and it drives me NUTS! It seems like the plastic is too loose. It really smacks of poor fit and finish. If I brought it up to the service guys they'd probably look at me like I was nuts. |
