Ok after driving for 10 minutes or so, those three lights come on. Earlier I heard a noise and thought "is that my car, or the exaust from a car infront of me", well as that ricer got off the highway, the noise didnt, and has gotten worse, louder w/ higher speeds, starting at about 30mph. Its not the tranny, cause i slip it into newtral, and the noise never changes even when i rev it or it changes gears. I also felt a front break overheat on the highway today, itsl ike 10degrees outside, so thats obsurd, even thogh i was pushing it. AND if i take a low speed turn to the left, hard, and break, i get a LOUD noise, sounds like its comming form the power steering rack, becasue when i stop after that, until i turn the wheel lock-to-lock, the noise is there, kinda like the rack needs to be cleared of something or whatever. Anyt ideas? Im supposed to turn this slut in TOMOROW as a tradein for my 2003, H E L P!

have you checked to see if the power stearing fluid is low????

i ask this because when you put on a new power stearing pump you turn it all the way to the left/right a couple of times to force air bubbles out of the system and if your pump was starting to go out doing that might bleed the system / force some more fluid in ???

It is a loud humming noise, kinda reminds me of an airplane. Looked for one of those too at first haha. very audible btwn like 30 and 70. over 70 the wind noise takes over

OK the power steering was low. Topped it off. So that lound noise is gone when turning and breaking at the same time, but im still having the road noise and the lights coming on. I noticed this afternoon. I was fine till i taped the breaks on the highway. if felt like the ABS pulsed once, and the lights came on. This sucks. And the dealer guy sucks for calling out sick today
