SQ5

  • miles
I-??m hearing squeaking noise from the steering column when steering left or right slowly of my Audi SQ5 2018 model. I noticed the noise can be heard loud after driving the vehicle for 30 min on the road or longer time driven. The squeaking noise from steering wheel column is often heard when taking the vehicle out from parking lot or moving the vehicle from stationary while turning the steering wheel. It-??s kind of creaking noise rubbing off against something and heard from inside the cabin.

While driving, the 'steering malfunction' warning light came on. The warning said that it was ok to drive. On the same day, the steering wheel became askew and was no longer aligned. This made it very difficult to drive the car. The dealer replaced the entire steering column in July 2020. I picked up the vehicle on 7/23/20. On 9/5/20, the same 'steering malfunction' warning light lit up. It is back with the dealer as if 9/8/20.
