The problem: A moaning or rubbing noise can be heard from the car’s rear when driving straight and making side-to-side turning movements with the steering wheel. This is due to lack of lubrication in the precision all-wheel-steering rear toe control actuators.
Corrective action: Dealers will replace the rear toe control actuators and perform a four-wheel alignment.
Warranty info: This repair is being done under the new-vehicle warranty.
