Hello all, I got a pre-owned 2014 a little over a year ago, by far the best car I’ve had! I’ve noticed upon cold start/starting in colder temperatures after sitting for a bit, each time I move the steering wheel left, there is like a click or tap noise for a split second coming from somewhere near the rack (at least it sounds like it??) If I move the steering back and forth, it only makes the noise when moving left. After about 30 seconds to a minute when the car warms up, this sound seems to be nonexistent. I’ve noticed this in the past, but only recently have I come across some reports of steering issues in other models from both current and past generations. The steering is otherwise great, but I’m just a little concerned if anyone’s experienced this and had it checked/serviced. I have the Premium 2 trim with the 20” rims, Magnetic Ride Control with HiPer Strut front suspension if that makes a difference. Thanks for any input
