“When steering right or left midway and then going back to steering's original position during motion, a clucking or knock is felt on the steering. My vehicle is around 40k miles and the issue emerged for the past two weeks (around mid feb 2016). Not sure if this issue is going to worsen overtime to a point where steering malfunction during vehicleur motion. I called dealership but they do not find it as a recall; however, I noticed other vehicle owners listed similar issue on this website's compliant website.”
