What owners wrote
When the temperature outside goes over 70 degrees, there's creaking noises underneath, sometimes very loud when turning, even when parked, moving the steering wheel left or right it makes the noise. Looking online, there are several complaints that report the same problem, my car has only 72k miles and it feels like something is going to break. It has been happening all summer this year and it's getting louder. This has to be a recall.
