Power steering noise

Has anyone experienced a noise that sounds like rubbing coming from the steering wheel? It is noticable at low speed or when turning into parking space, or fully stopped just turning the steering wheel with short turns back and forth.
I have Googled this issue and found earlier models had the problem. You would expect for the next generation of 300's to have this problem solved.

FYI. I finally found the source of the noise. After a couple of trips to the dealership and pulling a tech off the job to duplicate the noise he was able to hear it. He immediately knew exactly what it was. He ran back in the service area, and grab a can of lubricant. He sprayed a rubber boot underneath the steering column. I haven't heard anymore rubbing since. He said this is a common issue on Chrysler and Jeep vehicles.
