“There is a squeaking noise whenever the care steering wheel is turned either ways. It gets a little bit difficult to turn sometimes. I have checked the power steering fluid level and it is okay as prescribed. I have just gotten back from my mechanic and he informed me that his vehicle toyota is having the same problem. Please let me know if there has been some issue with this car.”
