| 2006 | STEERING | POWER STEERING ON VEHICLE ALWAYS MAKES A WHINNING NOISE. MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HE SAYS THAT THE DEALER SAID THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR IS UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE. IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING HAVING NOISE AND HARD TO TURN? I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ALWAYS MADE THIS NOISE. *TR |
