Replying to: dmathews3 (Sep 17, 2008 7:11 am) I know with the I4-5 speed we have, once it is in 5th gear, the computer will 'lock up' the torque converter, which has an effect of dropping a couple hundred rpms off the tach at highway speeds. If you were watching the tach when shifting, you would think that the 5 speed was actually a 6 speed. It may be that the V6-6speed model he referenced can lock up in both of the real 5th and 6th gears, making it seem like an 8 speed. Don't know, only guessing. |

My car is a 2007 camry LE 4 cylinder automatic. I notice that during past summer (when AC was almost full blast), as I was searching for parking, everytime I turned the steering wheel either when the car is stationary or slowly rolling, there's this whining noise from the front. After that, even as the AC is turned off, the whine still persists, especially when going in/out of my garage. A couple of weeks later during regular oil change, Toyota service dept told me that the power steering fluid is dirty and needs flushing. I'm quite surprised as I never changed my powersteering fluid in my previous car (Accord), and it's not mentioned in the Camry regular maintenance schedule. Does anybody else hear the same problem with their Camry? Is this whine normal, or is that a sign that there's something wrong with the power steering system? The car only has 24k miles in it. Thanks in advance for the replies.
