Does anyone else have this weird noise; kinda like a low grinding noise when making tight left turns?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, and still getting used to a small cool car, since I drove a pickup before this(this sentence turned into a run on)

I know I'll be more sensitive as far as small bumps on the roads go, but I almost wanna say it feels(sounds) like I'm stepping on the brake, though I'm not.

That's more than likely your power steering. When you hit the end of your turning radius, your power steering will start complaining.

 

it should only making a noise when you rea the end of the turn radius, any other time, and you might have a problem. take it to get checked out.

 

It's electric power steering, so it behaves different from regular hydraulic PS. Mine makes a funny faint buzzing noise (kinda like quickly tightening a zip tie) if I turn the wheel too fast, but that's about it.

 

It's just the electri power steering motor...It does make kind of a scraping noise, but it is normal. As with any new technology, new sounds are involved. It is especially audible since the motor is installed directly on the steering column under the dash.

 

I've noticed a "singing" sound when I turn left in my Yaris LB and wondered about it. It was like something was rubbing. Are we sure it's the electric steering?
