I agree, I would think there would be something posted about it somewhere on the Internet. I can't find anything.

That would drive me insane.

In the the service manual Steering section there is a symptom that sounds like your problem:

"Friction sound occurs when steering wheel turned during low speed driving"

The remedy is to check and replace if necessary: Power steering motor or Steering column assembly

I found the service manual here.

It also has this in the Troubleshooting section on page 46:

"High pitched sound (squealing sound) occurs when steering wheel turned slowly when vehicle stopped"

The remedy is to replace the steering motor.

I saw that part as well. I missed the part in your description, where you mention it doing it sitting still as well.
