So i was driving my car today and i noticed that steering wheel is making squeaking noise and i noticed this two wet spots under drivers dash. But also there is a crack on drivers side taillight (its almost like the crack is inside of the plastic, no sing of any collision or any external damage). I have to take the car to dealership and see what are they going to say, but i read somewhere on the forum that they were denied for almost the same crack, but lets hope for the best!

I've seen a couple posts about leaks inside the car. One guy claims his firewall wasn't welded correctly and is was letting water in. Hopefully it's yours is just a bad windshield seal or something.

I've not head that steering wheel noise before. Sounds like you need to get it into the dealer.

maybe, im going to take it this week, its just those wet spots appeared the moment the steering wheel started to squeak, so maybe they are somehow connected, and also it seems it's more like some kind of oil/grease rather then water

Ah ok. That makes way more sense. Didn't mean to scare you about the water thing lol. Let us know what they find.

Let me know what they say as I have the exact same problem grease leaks on the boot and whining in the steering wheel amongst others issues like creaking when going over dips.

Apparently their mechanic cant replicate the sound... Even though they saw the video, and heard the sound in the car. But they said the grease is from steering column, so they are going to replace that piece of fabric that has grease on it, and apparently that's it. They say everything is working.

What?! How many miles on the car? Did they say it was caused by damage or something?
10000 miles. Nope they just said its not manufacturing defect, which i guess means i broke them. Funny thing is i just found separate post here, with more people with same issues. All denied warranty.
