The electrically controlled power steering pump has now started making a very loud buzzing / whistling noise. It is so loud, you can hear it inside the car with the radio on. The dealer told us that this is completely normal, although it just started making the noise. It makes the noise while driving, stationary or turning right or left. In other words all the time. The car is under factory warranty, but the dealer has refused to perform service to correct the issue because they say the noise is normal. I'm afraid the pump will fail causing an accident.
I noticed a very high pitched whining/whistling noise when I opened the hood of a 2 day old car. The dealer service department said the power steering fluid was low and had it topped off. The noise reduced very slightly but its still there. They said that the noise was made by the electric assist power steering pump and was at normal levels. I have never seen any of my previous vehicles make such a sound. It feels like whatever part making that sound is due for failure.
