Generally happens when cold and the wheel is turned more than 3/4 of the way in either direction. Thoughts?

I get the same thing, quite irritating. I read that it's soemthing to do with power steering fluid level. I'm going to let the dealers know when I go in for service next time.

It's a known issue with the power steering. Take your car into the dealership and they can fix it for you.
