CarComplaints.com Notes: There are a fair-number of power steering related complaints which is a continuation of problems from the previous model year. Considering the problem tends to happen beyond the standard warranty (73k+) it's best to avoid this vehicle or at least be prepared for the $1,300+ repair.
I first reported steering noise during 12 months of ownership, noise returned, increased after my water pump failed and had to be replaced by dealership. Dealer says normal noise.. But worried part is out of warranty and will be stuck with big rack and pinion replacement cost. I have tag on my power steering reservoir that states Dex v1 fluid only which says dealer knows there are problems with steering
