I have a 2015 Scion tC that's making these annoying clicking sounds when I turn my steering wheel. The clicks/ticks only happen when I'm turning a corner, making a u-turn, or turning the wheel to park. So usually, when I break and turn at the same time, it will click. It doesn't affect my steering at all (or not yet at least), it's just really annoying to hear on a new car.

I already took it to the dealer twice. The mechanic said it was a "body creak" and that "they tested it on other 2015 Scion tCs and they made similar sounds", which I think is just BS. I'm not in any way an expert on cars though so I don't know. Please halp

Any ideas? Or is the Toyota dealership telling the truth? Do other 2015 tC owners out there experience the same sound?

Not sure if this clicking noise sound comes from your steering wheel (inside) or from your actual rack & pinion (outside).


But if it comes from your steering wheel, ask the dealer to check the harness behind the driver's air bag (this harness is for the audio controls on the steering wheel), because some times if the routing of the harness is not correct, can create this kind of noise, since "rubs" with the back of the driver's A/B. Nothing wrong with the car, but very annoying.


Hope this helps!

I'll ask them to check that out. Thanks a lot!

Is your car lowered or even on TRD springs?

No, all stock. That's why I'm so confused why it would suddenly start making sounds. I didn't change anything.
