Hey Guys,

Whenever I start the car my steering wheel will come down automatically to the adjusted level normally but it creates a squeak as it comes down.

It also squeaks when i turn off the car and it automatically adjusts up for an easy exit.

Is there a solution to this like WD-40 or some kind of grease. If so how or where should i apply it?

 

From browsing the forums, I think your tilt motor is on its way out...a $600 repair! If possible take it to the dealer to have it disabled asap! Or it will get stuck in place.

 

Not saying it is not the motor going out. But before mine went out it never made any abnormal noises or gave any indication it was going out. One day i just tried to adjust it and it made grinding noises.

 

Yep sounds like the motors are starting to go out. Hope your still within your warranty.

 

yeah thats the indication the motor is going to die soon. i turned off my auto-tilt on entry/exit after i had it replaced once. in the FB group we have the part # and the TSB if you wanna DIY

 

Let me join the group I requested to join while back.

 

weird thought you were already in it. send a request again ill add you now

 

You don't have to take it to the dealer to disable it. You can do it from the "settings" menu.
