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.

I have RPM flare but I do know this. I cannot drive the 2007 V6 Camry SE after my wife drives it. This transmission is a leaning transmission and I drive way different then my wife does. This is the first vehicle I have owned like this. When I drive the Camry the transmission does NOT know what to do at all. I am a more aggressive driver and I will punch it to get on the freeway, and will use horsepower to change lanes in traffic on side streets. I like to take off quick and then let off the accelerator. When I do such maneuvers the RPMs will flare after I let off the accelerator. I would need to do a computer reset after my wife drives every time to prevent this. At this point the computer and transmission will have to relearn my driving habits and will adjust accordingly. I just have my wife drive the car or when I drive I baby it. I will stick to my manual 6 speed Civic SI. You can replace the computer and transmission a hundred times and you will not fix anything. This is how the vehicle is, if you do not like it, then another vehicle will have to do. The Accord is a great choice, other then the poorly designed body. I am not a fan of the overall design.
