Steering Wheel Stick After Startup

[Braun]

Curious if anyone else is experiencing this. My '23 ITS has a strange quirk: After every vehicle startup, the steering wheel upon first movement almost feels like it sticks, makes a clunking noise, and then as it "breaks free" of whatever was sticking, everything is normal. It happens literally every startup (cold or not). For context, I have had the sticky steering recall done a long time ago.

As I'm typing this, I am wondering what if it was the (stock) tires just cooling off and sticking and it's just the rubber sticking and breaking free from pavement. I'm inclined to think this is not the case, as it happens every time, hot or cold tire temps.

It also occurred to me that the ads on this forum are ridiculous. As I've been typing this it took my cursor away multiple times and interrupted my typing every time it loaded a new ad. Annoying.

It's not tires.

There's something else going on. Someone else mentioned this before and iirc the dealer solved it by pulling the rack and doing something. It might just be the electric motor acting up. The behavior you're describing occurs in my eps cars with start/stop when it's transitioning from stop to start.

For ads, I'd recommend setting up your home wifi router to point to an adblocker dns. That helps keep the ad noise down quite a bit, but some sites get upset and won't let you view anything (they can go pound sand).
