    I have had my 05 base sedan for a few years now, and recently it started making a high pitch squeel if I turn hard to the left (every once and a while to the right too) but once it does it, it only does it when I gas it. the noise gets louder the more I gas it and then it will continue to do it once I am driving straight again. The wierd thing is is that if I stop and turn the car off and then turn it back on it usually stops doing it until I turn hard left again. If I turn a soft left it will never do it though??? Any Suggestions?? Thanks!!

    I have an 07 GT. When I first got it it was doing the same thing on hard turns. I ended up replacing the Power steering pump. Not a problem since. Even if your fluid is a bit low I would just replace the pump the damage is already done.
