Just got back from the service department again, at their request. I really didn't want to bring it in again for about the 6 or 7th time, I've lost count, but Tech Support got back to them and basically reiterated what they should've known from the beginning, you have to properly diagnose the problem and rule out various possibilities to arrive at the cause rather than just randomly replacing parts. So they did, removed the air bag, plastic cover etc. to see if it eliminated the noise, which it didn't, so the end result again was..........replace spiral cable/clock spring!! Part is on order....again.
So they're "really confident" that this will solve the problem, which is really nice to hear but I've heard it many times and I can't imagine why they feel the fix will work this time since they already tried this, but I guess what more can they do?
On a side note, my Rogue didn't want to start today and I almost missed my appointment, the starter was really weak and instead of turning consistently it kind of pulsed, the rpm needle would jump up and down with each pulse. It was really weird but eventually started just barely and hasn't been an issue since....
For all my trouble they gave me a really good deal on premium brake service, for $59 they disassembled, inspected, clean and lubed the calipers etc. and they also deglazed the rotors - I'm not sure how this is done but my brakes are so much quieter now.
