jcole01108 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have been getting a growling/buzzing vibration in the steering wheel at idle while the engine is warming up, especially present when I turn the steering wheel left or right. Any idea what this might be? As the vehicle warms up and the idle drops, so does the vibration. If I put the car into neutral it pretty much goes away. The vehicle is a 2004 3.0 6 cylinder Outback wagon with 5900 miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhound Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Check the power steering fluid level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Since this is a new car I would let the dealer look at this problem. One of the benefits of owning a new car is you can let them take care of most issues under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setright Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Yeah, take it to the dealer. Please let us know what is causing the noise and how it gets solved. Could be useful reference for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
