Problem with my 2008 Chevrolet Impala
Mileage = 44051
Engine size 3.5 V6
GM tech = JK
question = Well.. Say I want to pass someone. I get into it, RPMs go up. And I hold it there for a
minute. After i park it and let the car idle, I hear a, like a whine, or "power steering" whine, but its not
the P.S. It won't do it when you turn. After letting sit and idle, if you rev a little, the engine whines, and
gets louder. Any suggestions why my Impala is doing this? Thanks!
JK:
Be sure to check the trans. fluid level. Low trans. fluid can give a whine noise that is related to engine
speed. You may need to remove the serpentine belt after you get the noise to start. Then re-start the
engine and see if it goes away. That would indicate one of the accessories on the drive belt is the
culprit. If it does go away, then re-install belt. While it is whining, you can use a stethoscope to try to
isolate what is making the noise-Alternator, water pump, A/C compressor.

Answer:
Thank you for the tip donation.
This sounds like a very common problem in many years and models of GM vehicle.
The "Intermediate steering shaft" is noisy and needs to be replaced.
Since you have under 36k miles, this item is under warranty. Just call your local
dealer and tell them your problem, and they will take care of it. There is actually a
service bulletin (TSB) for this.
Thanks again for the tip/donation. I will send the TSB # as a reference so you can
bring to the dealer if you would like.

Question = when driving down the road my car will jerk to the left and right at times. What could cause this?
Question = when driving down the road my car will jerk to the left and right at times. What could cause this?
Answer: There could be a couple different causes that are making
your Monte Carlo jerk to the left and right. Your vehicle could need
an alignment, as being mis-aligned will cause the car to pull one
direction or the other. You could also have bad tires, such as worn
tread or a steel belt that has shifted. This will also cause erratic
steering and driving. Another possibility would be something wrong
with the front suspension or steering linkage. A loose tie rod end,
control arm or ball joint, even a bad steering rack can all do this. I
would recommend getting your car checked out as soon as
possible to see which of these is causing your issue.
