The other thing I can certainly do is ask to look at another Yaris at Hertz to compare. If the issue isn't in the next one, not sure my next move because I also don't want to take a gamble on what might be wrong in the next vehicle and don't want to spend more money for a mechanic to look at another car...

Does your Yaris use electronic power steering?

A creak I'd nothing serious and likely is a rubber bushing in the suspension. That said if you cannot or do not do the work yourself, it was add up to a costly fix. If you do the work yourself then it's relatively cheap.

Could be something as simple as sway bar bushings, but like I said this isnt a common issue on 2nd gen or 1st gens and this is only a 2 year old car we are talking aboht
