It also makes the same noise from the backend of the car when i make a sharp turn. I had the brakes checked by Midas and they said it wasnt the brakes. Does anyone know what this may be caused by. I have a 2005 Dodge Stratus. Thank you

I posted this earlier and most of the answers seem to be about the power steering fluid. That was also checked and has never been low. Thank you all for your answers.

check your power steering fluid.

your car is pretty new, it shouldn't be anything major. check steering fluid ( if its real low then add more and get it checked for leaks).
Then check for CV boot joints. You might not even have to lift the car for this. With a flash light, have someone turn the wheel one way so you can look behind it. You should see a rubber boot which look like a rubber spring the size of a fist. It should be in one piece and no cracks or cuts. Run you hand around it to check. Do the same thing for the other front tire. For safety reasons make sure the car is turned off before looking behind the tire.

Have the rack and pinion checked. That is front wheel drive? It could be that the ball joints are not greasable and are worn out. Also the struts/shocks could be shot.How many miles are on the car? Another spot to check... it could be a brake caliper hanging up on a warped rotor~that would give a squeeking sound. Last but not least...the U Joints are probably not the greasable type and are dry. Good luck in your search...I hope some of these gives you the RIGHT direction to head for a cure.

i own a repair shop,and it sounds like you might have something rubbing or hitting on something,and it very well could be the cold weather making the shocks real stiff on it,i own a 98 stratus and it did this once and it was the sway bar links that was causing it to do that,you might want to have someone else check it,Midas isn't the best place in the world to deal with,good luck,i hope this help,s.

the click noise is a CV joint. A exchange is around $a hundred plus yet another $a hundred or with a view to place in it. The whistling sounds is in all threat a brake pad this is "chattering" (extreme-pitched squeal). it may in basic terms be an annoyance, whether it additionally could point out you like new brake pads.

The wheel alignment (tracking) is possibly out. It is also possibly a power steering problem. Make sure you have enough fluid in there and that you don't have a leak.

i going to take a stab at this try checking out your power steering system. I would hope if they can narrow it down to no braking problems they could figure out to check the cv joints too.Even though this seems abnormal for a vehicle this new.

Sounds like you're low on power steering fluid.

Just some worn rubber bushings in the suspension. If you cant live with the squeaking the have them changed. If the squeaking becomes clunking then it becomes an urgent matter.

Midas should know what that is.It sound s like a cv joint that needs replacing. expensive.
