1300 Miles Clunking felt on drivers side floor board.

[MIKEA]

So today when I start driving and Turn the wheel a small amount and let return to center .
A bad Clunking , sort of like knocking ,on drivers side floorboard is felt.
You can feel KNOCK, KNOCK,KNOCK
Occurs when turning in both directions WEIRD.
Looks like a trip to the dealer already.
Any ideas what it might be ????

Could be a bad CV joint; although I don't see how that would happen with a 2013 car??? Anyway, take it to the dealer.

I had some thing similar happen in my Saturn. The floor mat had slipped up behind the pedals to a joint in the steering shaft. Nearly every time I turned the wheel it would flick the mat. I brought it in to the shop twice insisting that the wheelbearing was bad. Then they found the problem. No monitary charge, just a little embarrassment.

Sure enough the floor mat had slipped up behind the pedals to a joint in the steering shaft.
Pulled floor mat. back and no more Bump ,Bump ,Bump
Thanks jamesanne.

One reason they're putting the hooks on the carpet to hold the mats now? That and the Toyota runaway acceleration fiasco.
