Default Tick, tapping, sound when I'm turning with no accelerator

Yep.

When I'm turning with the foot off the gas I hear, and kind of feel, a light tapping going on somewhere under the hood. Only when I turn, and only when I don't have the accelerator down at all.

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure what the cause is, but I've kind of noticed a click noise/feeling when I turn, but that's when the car is in motion and it only happens occasionally. I actually think there is a TSB regarding it, but I could be wrong.

ISS issue makes a nice click you can hear and feel while turning.

I'm pretty sure I have this going on right now. So... Just take it to the dealer, right? Any specific problem code I should bring up?

Just tell them your intermediate steering shaft is giving you problems and if there is still the warranty etc to fix it.

If not you can grease it yourself and have it "fixed" in 5 minutes.

Drop the plastic cover with the 2 clips that is above your brake / gas pedal. Pull back on the black rubber boot and near the greenish / teal circle you will see the knuckle.

Shoot that with white lithium grease, turn your steering wheel, shoot it with more grease, put back together.

That's seriously where the clicky feeling is coming from? It isn't a front end thing?

That's where you fix your ISS, if it is indeed your ISS.

Had the clicking in the steering wheel myself, now each spring I just shoot that with some gun oil.

Let's not forget cv shafts. Clicking while turning is their signature. In my esxperience, the ISS is almost felt more in the steering wheel as clunking than it is a clicking. Just from my experience though.
