Steering wheel whines when turning the wheel. Sounds like high pitch gearing. Dealer had wife drive another vehicle of the same model, and it made the same sound. Dealer said it was "characteristic of that vehicle type." Dealer said they lubricated the steering shaft, and the noise went away...for a few weeks. No charge for service.
