Failure Date: 06/07/2010

New vehicle still under warranty. 6-7-10 took into service re intermittent creaking when turning steering wheel, especially when backing up. Problem not identified. 6-23-10 problem continues, now constant when going forward and backing up when turning wheel. Lubricant applied to steering column. 7-2-10 problem continues, service department "had a conference" with experienced repair employees. Problem identified, parts ordered. 7-26-10 2 day repair, "steering bolts not torqued correctly", retorqued 8-4-10 problem continues, creaking now louder. Left car with them for 3 weeks while on vacation. "both front driveshafts binding", both replaced. 8-24-10 returned from vacation, problem continues. They want me to take care in again for sixth attempt to fix. Major concern: does this noise indicate a safety concern? they reassure me that it isn't but also state that this same problem has occurred in 5 other cars, same year, same model, "some we couldn't fix" decision time: return the car for another attempt or file through lemon law.
