I’ve recently encountered a frustrating issue with my Toyota Corolla Cross—a grinding noise when turning the steering wheel. Initially, I thought it was a small issue, but the noise has gotten worse over time. Concerned, I visited my local dealership and found out I’m not alone. I saw four other Corolla Crosses in for the same problem, all owners reporting the same grinding noise when turning.
The dealership confirmed that the issue is related to a faulty steering rack and assured me it would be replaced under warranty. However, they mentioned that the part isn’t available, and I’ve now been waiting almost a month with no clear timeline for when the repair will happen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? How is your dealership handling it? I’m curious to know if this is affecting more Corolla Cross owners and how long others are having to wait for repairs.
Let me know if you’ve faced something similar! The more we share, the better we can get this issue resolved.
