Steering Wheel Sound

2010 Panamera Turbo. Creaking sound from steering wheel area when car is maneuvered at low speed (like parking in garage spot). Sounds like bedsprings creaking. Must have radio off to hear it. Also can hear it just turning wheel up and back with car still, but not as pronounced. Anyone else have it? What's causing it? Thanks!

If I dont have my radio on I hear creaking all over the cabin this is a big disappointment for me.

I rarely drive with everything off but times call for just a chill drive and I cant chill SUCKS

Your report of a lot of cabin squeaks is a tad disconcerting. Is that everyone's expereince?

I'm awaiting a Turbo and tend to be kind of **** about dash rattles and the like...

I had one rattle and it was killing me. I finally found it - it was the area just abouve the ignition key where the dash wood meets a triangle of plastic. I jammed a small piece of black felt in between the wood and the plastic and it solved the problem.

I agree with the squeaks - Overall I think the car is built pretty solid but my S63 was rock solid - zero problems nor squeaks for 3 years.

The Panameras will get lots of daily driver miles and let's hope they accounted for that when building it.

No Squeaks

No squeaks on my TURBO at 1800 miles. None on my earlier S with 3800 miles.

Anyone else notice their center console is not tight... It really dissapointing when my arm rest on it and it feels like its not properly in place... hard to explain. Yes I have some rattle noise from the front passenger dash that drives me crazy!! I have to bring it to the dealer.
