Sub-frame being replaced
I had a clicking noise whenever I turned the steering wheel. Based on what I had read here, I figured something was up with the steering column.
But when they called they told me that they had to replace the sub-frame!
Don't know if anyone else has experienced this. On the upside at least I still have warranty and I'm getting a front wheel alignment done for free!

The clicking sound is as described by others in the steering column thread. Basically it's a metallic sound which is best described as a binding sound. It occurs in unison with the turning of the steering wheel irrespective of direction.
It's definitely not CV joints, because it occurs even when the car is at a standstill.
Now while I'm still inclined to believe it's the steering column there is one small anomaly - ever now and again when I close the driver's door with some force there is a metallic "clink" coming from the same area, almost like a loose heat shield. I just can't figure out what in the subframe would cause a noise that it produced solely by turning the steering wheel. Unless the subframe was bent and interfering with the steering column. But there's no damage to it.

Perhaps there was a broken weld on the subframe. The binding sound may have been a flex caused by the broken weld.
And for sleepinxlionhart....that clicking you have can only be cured by a complete engine, drivetrain and transmission replacement....which is not covered under warranty.
