Problem overview

Some INFINITI G25 owners report experiencing squealing noises from the belts or power steering pump during cold starts, which may indicate several underlying issues. These owners often find that worn or misaligned belts contribute to the noise, particularly noticeable during startup or when turning the steering wheel. Additionally, problems with the power steering fluid, air in the system, or the power steering pump itself can also lead to these strange sounds. Some have noted that if the squeal intensifies when turning the steering wheel, it may be related to the serpentine belt, which can lose pliability in cold temperatures, affecting its grip. Furthermore, the power steering belt slipping or experiencing friction can exacerbate the squealing during cold starts. To address these concerns, it is recommended that owners check the condition and alignment of the belts, verify the power steering fluid level and quality, and have a mechanic inspect the power steering system and belts for signs of wear or damage to effectively resolve the issue.
