Whenever I enter or exit the car, and the steering wheel retracts or lowers, a very audible squeak occurs. It sounds as if something's rubbing real hard against something else. If I then put my hands on the wheel, some other less loud "bang" or click comes from the wheel/steering according to how much weight I apply to the wheel. This seems to be something out of the ordinary.

Hopefully the squeak will be present when I visit my dealer tomorrow to show him the LED indicator/eyebrow problem.

Seems all dealerships in town have agreed to close on Saturdays throughout June and July. Guess I'll have to wait until next week having the dealer check this out.
