2002 Honda Accord with 106K miles. Power-steering pump changed 9/2008 and fluid changed 12/31. In the morning when I start my car I hear high pitched squeal. The wheels are straight. Does this mean I will need a pump soon? If is fails will I be in danger and or could it damage something else?

Squealing power-steering pump

I am sorry. I meant to say they replaced the BELT for the power=steering pump - NOT the pump.

No the AC is not on.

I am guessing that they checked the tension on the drive belt in Sept 2008.
