Just took mine in for the same thing

Just took mine in for the same thing, when i would make a full turn like a U-turn i would hear a noise that sounded like it was coming from under the gearbox, then when i would make the opposite turn on the wheel i would hear it again. I will find out later on today on what the issue and fix involves

I'm interested in finding out what you guys are told from the dealer. I took mine in over a month ago for a similar noise.. they told me they couldn't duplicate the noise while they were test driving it (which is quite possible, because it doesn't do it all the time) and they didn't see anything wrong while inspecting.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard the noise in quite some time

Ok i just talked to the service peoples, they are telling me that some bearing needs replacing, i dont have all the details cause the service manager wasnt really answering my question but what i got from him is that the bearing needs replacing, i will post more info as soon as i get my receipt and what they did exacly

If you refering to the steering groan when turning at slow parking speeds, it's a know problem over here in the UK, dealers are changing steering racks under warranty, not always fixing the problem though.

There was a recall about this about six months ago. It will not affect the car if left undone, and the work should be done under warranty.
Nothing to worry about, take it to the dealership, let them know, the work took about 4.5 hours as I recall.

So they kept my car overnight, and tightend and fixed the bearings , but guess what , i took an nice hard turn and there was the sound again "crack" should i take it back? anyone else got theirs fixed maybe that way i can tell them what the issue is

CV joints missing grease crack on turns. or worn out CV joints/axles.

It's not a bearing issue, they actually need to replace a part - steering rack IIRC.
