I get an occasional "groan" from the steering column when turning - doesn't matter if its a slight turn or turning the wheel all the way. It's totally random. I'm worried I might be seeing symptoms of the same problem you have. Keep us posted on what the dealer finds.

To a degree I am, but in all honesty I own a GMC dump truck as one of my work vehicles as well. It's a good rig, but has had its share of problems of well. My point is that any vehicle can have problems. It sucks when a problem happens, especially at low mileage, but they all have these occasional issues.

In the grand scheme of things, I doubt that it's that many compared to sales and to any other brand. More people come to forums to complain than to praise. So far my 15 has been, knock on wood, faultless. There in lies the purpose of warranties.

There's a storm rolling in. See if you can borrow that other guys "tree". Bring a gas can.
Power steering pump kaboomed?
That oil leak looks a bit dry, wipe it perfectly clean and see if it stops. Sometimes it takes a while for seals, to seal. Unfortunately, I think that seal is Spermatex.
