Yes, same happens for me. It happens when I put any forward pressure on the wheel, not from just turning it.Heinrich said:Anyone notice that as you grab the wheel, turn, etc you get a "creeking" noise out of the wheel itself. It is not out of the dask, or even down in the steering column, but right in the steering wheel (top) area...
I got a detailed description of what's going on but honestly can't quite remember it but something like a bolt barely rubbing on some trim or shim or something like that. The end result is given enough time it will go away as it wears down or the dealer can fix it by tearing down the steering wheel assembly. Myself, I'm going to give it a few months as I'd rather have it wear in than the whole thing broken down and re-assebled, your choice. My '05 Ody did almost the same thing, different cause, but it went away after a month of driving.Heinrich said:I hope you guys are like me, I have mine back in the dealer right away to have this fixed! If we don't it might take a while to get this fixed....
I think mine is starting to wear down, seems not as bad, that or I'm getting used to itGEEK1 said:I noticed my steering wheel creeks too (only after reading these posts). Man that is annoying!
Different schools of thought. I'd much rather have it wear down and be gone than those guys tear down or replace my wheel. Can you tell I trust mechanics about as far as I can throw them ?Heinrich said:Don't get used to it, get it replaced. Your tech can simply call the Honda tech line and they will tell them to replace it! It is just the wheel itself and should not be a problem.
True, I had assumed the worst but if that's the case I'm not so quesy about just the top cover. Mine really isn't so bad hardly notice it over my wind noiseHeinrich said:LOL, its just the top part of the wheel itself, not the entire assembly...But I guess IF it actually disappears then I suppose in the end all is well. Honestly sometimes it is quiet and then other days it is creeking all over the place, it appears to be sensitive to heat and cold (expansion). It may not ever fully go away...
Truck goes in Friday to fix all issues. Let ya know when I get it back all the details.Heinrich said:Any news on the wind noise?
