steering sounds
I have a 2014 1.5Dci and was wondering if anyone has experienced steering trouble? Only started today, and basically when I turn the steering wheel, it makes a funny light grinding sound. As it is electronic I didn't think that would be the case. Any thoughts?
Similar to this?http://www.qashqaiownersclub.co.uk/foru ... 2.htmlMine has a habit of "complaining" when it's cold (below 2c) and on first start up.Goes away once the car has warmed up.
Nissan no more...
There are 3 types of steering noises already:dry rubber cuff at floor where steering column passes the floor (lubricate with Teflon base grease only)noise caused by dry rubber mounting of the front shock absorbers (tighten the screw and lubricate)scratching noise inside the steering wheel - sounds changes on turns, usually not audible near steering end position (coil spring issue, need to be replaced by a dealer)

Has it been in the garage recently, mine spent a few days on a lift and after i got it back i got a creaking groaning sound when turning the wheel. Importantly i still got it when the car was stationary and i turn the wheel.The garage replaced the strut top bearings that apparently might have been under some strain when it was up on the lift.Not sure I am convinced but it fixed the noise. If its very repeatable get someone to turn the steering wheel when you have the bonnet up and listen / feel for vibration on the strut tops

I've got a noise on my steering which only happens when it's damp and cold. See video. http://youtu.be/9Th5oEQCnpg
I took it to the dealer but they did nothing because it was not making the noise when they had it. Is the sound on your car the same? I have a 1.5dci Tekna on 14 plate.

Yes Also new model. Dealer fixed mine with lubrication but came back intermittent . Dealer lubricated again and fix lasted a bit longer but back in next week again. Problem not always apparent but tell dealer it is there.
Hope Nissan can get a fix

I had it briefly when it was cold and then only for a couple of minutes into journey. Gone now
