I noticed a "rubbing: sound, or a sound in the suspension or steering that would lead me to think it needed a "lube job", but newer vehicles no long need to be greased so I took it to the dealer. The sound occurred most notably at low speed while turning slowly, many times while backing up and turning, it sounded "dry" and labored, not a squealing or squeaky sound. But I could not reproduce the noise at the dealership, despite multiple trips and having the mechanic sit in the vehicle with me. Finally they replaced the "strut bearings" in 2013, though I had never heard of this part before. They were certain this would correct the problem but it did not. My last trip to the dealer in oct. 2014 led them to think the struts needed replacing along with the strut bearings, though the latter was still under warranty. My vehicle has less than 67,000 miles on it. I'm told by another mechanics garage service there was a 2009 manufacturer notice about this problem, but no one at the dealer said anything about it.
