Trying to find out about another problem with the minivan..
At low RPM sometimes, the power steering pump makes a whining/groaning sound. Sometimes, when it is making the sound and you turn the wheels, the steering rack makes the whole minivan vibrate as well. I have put the transmission in neutral a couple of the times this has happened and raised the RPM of the engine at the same time and the groaning lessens and the rack stops the vibration.
With 25,000 miles on the van, is this something that should be included in the warranty? I'd rather know before I call and try to deal with the service manager at the local dealer.. she's a real treat, let me tell you.
I found out a price on the pump already... it's pretty reasonable, and seems like it wouldn't be *too much* of a pain to change the thing, but...
Thanks in advance!
