Oxidation/rust of engine parts in 2017 Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

One small issue I'm having right now is that there is a creaking when steering at low speeds. Initially I thought it was just noise of the steering column itself, but of course the steering wheel doesn't make a noise when at a complete stop and turning the wheel. Wasn't sure if that was something to expect from the Yaris...otherwise, what I have read points to possible bad suspension joints. Having it looked at now...

Apparently what I'm hearing is common to the Yaris. They compared to others they had on the lot that behaved the same way. They explained it was just the behavior of economy cars and not being as quiet in the cabin.
