    Only happens when I have a passenger. Gets louder during acceleration and turns. Can't figure it out.


    Please advise?

    Power steering will make noise when fluid is low. Remember uses ATF fluid. Could also be a tensioner bearing, mine made squealing noise before it failed. Good luck!

    Your girlfriend needs service. Some feel that removal of the honeycomb improves or eliminates the offending sound, however the results in performance vary from gf to gf. Sometimes the only solution is to R&R her. If that becomes necessary, I recommend a change to organic rather than synthetic though. Light weight is usually preferred.

    I agree with Plugzit. Removal of the GF (or wife) also eliminates the unwanted navigation system.

    Exactly what I was thinking. From what I understand the new models don't squeak and rattle as much as the old ones

    I'm way too much of a control freak... although for good measure I offer it up to the girl every once in awhile. One of these days she may drive her. Sure it will end up in a cat fight... real g/f driving the italian g/f.

    That can't end well.. :)
