Description of the problem | 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. |
