My car has been making a whine sound at cold morning starts and especially when turning left it whines. The sound is like a dry power steering pump but its full. Could this be the tranny?

Today it whined even after warming up so it getting worse.

Ideas?

 

I had my cvt replaced as it too would whine and ended up failing on me. Turning never made a difference in my case. You may want to look for another cause. How are your belts?

 

Belts are good. Its definitely accessory or CVT related.

 

How many miles are on it? Have you drain/filled the cvt fluid?

 

Also what year car is it? Some of the first couple years have extended cvt warranty to 10 year/120,000 miles

 

69k on it now. Drain and filled at 60k

 

'13. Ive got 100k ext warranty.

 

I've got a '12 with 47k and did the dealer drain/fill but still get the whine noise when I use the shift paddles and hold a lower "gear" in the higher RPM range. I'm talking over 3,500 to 4,500. Fingers crossed the allstate warranty covers this!
