txpath4x4 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey peeps. I believe it is my electric power steering making the sound. It's interment and sounds horrible. Also when it does it you can feel vibrations in the engine bay. Just wondering if anyone else has had the issue? Thanks good for 100k certified Nissan warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughroad Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 More or less the motor produces the sound also check for other defective suspension parts. Vibration could also be due to a worn engine support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughroad Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Also have you inspected for any loose mud guard or flaps lately? That could also the culprit of the strange noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txpath4x4 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 No I haven't. But I could check them just for grins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Electric power steering... there's a thing. Does it only make the noise when you steer? How's the fluid look (assuming it still uses fluid)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txpath4x4 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 The sound is intermittent. And the fluid level keeps dropping. Now it just whines all the time. Also one of my cooling fans is going out... This car is becoming a pain in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Making noise, losing fluid... yeah, that system had a short life. Hopefully warranty doesn't jerk you around too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughroad Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If its loosing fluid, surely there is a leak somewhere also sure there is some air in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arakele Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We have a 2015 and it's noisy, but not leaking any fluid. I have noticed other R52's in parking lots sound the same as mine. It's the first car weve had with electric power steering, so I have been chalking it up to being somewhat normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
