My car is being so dangerous today. The steering wheel is squealing when I turn left or right and the gas pedal vibrates like hell. What's wrong with my car guys please help ASAP !!!!!

Can you give us a bit more information? The squealing could be a bad power steering pump, I've had a couple of cars with this problem. As for the vibration, when does it happen? On idle, or while driving?

Thks for quick reply, it's happen when driving. everthing was perfect yesterday. On this morning I noticed something wrong but not sure until I figured out.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 12-03-2011, 10:29 AM

Vibration could be out of balance wheels.

Best bet would be to have it looked at my a trusted mechanic.

Have somebody look it over. From your lack of description... it could be anything.

Check the power steering fluid maybe you sprang a leak.

Steering wheels don't squeal. They might squeak in the cold weather if there is some interior trim pieces rubbing.

If its a squeal, pop the hood and take a look. A belt could be slipping. The pump could be seized, low on fluid, or a wobbling PS bearing might be waiting to fail, and leave you stranded. Anything else sharing the same belt could make you think its a PS issue when it could be something else.

Or, you might have a low idle issue causing the problem.

What year is your car?

ptt1404 · 12-04-2011, 12:04 PM

hi guys my car is camry 2007 and today the problem was gone by itself. It's really weird but I think I got air trapped in my steering wheel fluid. My friend opened the hood, checked the power steering fluid which is fine, revving gas pedal for a while and BRAVO !!!!! I WAS SAVED LOL ^-^

***arabianobsession*** · 12-04-2011, 12:10 PM

That.....doesn't make any sense. I don't see why revving the gas pedal would release air trapped in the power steering reservoir/lines.

^ that, great that the problem fixed itself, but i would bring it to a mechanic just incase

There is no way to get air entrained in the PS fluid if the proper level has been maintained.That is if someone hasn't opened something in the hydraulic circuit. That system operates at over 1000 psig so what you usually have is fluid leaking out.Have someone jack the front wheels off the pavement and then start your car and cylce the steering wheel lock to lock[don't hold it there] a few times. That will expell the air out of the system. Regards.

I think it's time for a new drive belt on this thing. If I ask you if you've ever had one done you'll most likely say no, right?
Another thing is water pumps like to leak coolant onto the belt of these cars and that will cause it also.

this from you on previous occasions/threads....

in this thread YOU started, you claimed to have let SOMEONE ELSE drive your car, and he or she wrecked it..although you have deleted YOUR thread, i vehemently REMEMBER YOU and your plight...why didn't YOU LISTEN to us back then..???

Axle oil leaking!

then this thread from you

again, you edited out what you tried to tell us, and we told you...!!

> 80 MPH my Steering Wheel starting vabrating...

and then there is this one..

Please help!

you HAVE BEEN TOLD numerous times what to do, but why do you persist in making up threads...do you think you will get different answers to your problems..???

this actually amounts to spamming the boards with useless crap over and over again....

Grease or replace the intermediate shaft, known issue with many Camrys. There is a dealer grease kit for that, go talk to them, its cheap.
