Don't fret yet!!!
Hearing some noise in the rack and the pump is normal until the power steering fluid is up to temp and circulating.

Also, check the level of the fluid in the pot and make sure its up to the line as indicated on the side.

If the noise is real bad, take it in. Could be something that
should be covered under warranty.

good luck

I have the same problem. Noticed the power steering fluid was low. Took it in for service, Acura topped up the fluid (N/C), but I still have the screaching sound in AM when leaving for work. I will take it in again and post the result.

xenon7,

if noise in the rack & the pump is normal, I wonder why it never made noise before?
