steering wheel squeak
Hey all, 2011 GS steering wheel has developed a squeal. Not obnoxious, but I'm like all the rest of you. I DON'T WANT A SQUEAL IN MY 'VETTE!
Short of taking it apart (would not look forward to messing with the air bag), anyone have any history of this? If so, how did you get rid of it.
Thanks

Steering wheel is very, very easy to remove. If you want to avoid any possible issue with the air bag simply remove the positive battery cable from the battery. There are good and easy to follow instructions with photos here on the CF.

Mine had a quiet squeak to it and I took it in before the 36k bumper to bumper warranty was up. It was time for an oil change so had them look at it at the same time. A plastic part in the steering column had come loose and was rubbing.
Now I have a squeaking brake pedal that I'll deal with some day it bothers me enough. I don't hear it every day so it has not bothered me enough to take it in for a repair or even try some WD 40.

Good luck getting to anything to spray WD 40 on for the brake pedal. I couldn't get to anything mechanical on my 2012 GS without removing something so I'll leave it for the dealership under warranty.

Burning Brakes
My steering wheel squeaks too when turning. I removed air bag and moved the wires around some. It took away some of the noise, but its still there. Might remove it again and put some lube on it to see if that will help. Usually the radio is up loud enough that I don't hear it. Of course my radio reception is horrible.......
