After about a year of the whining noise it became louder and more annoying. My 2006 caravan has 75,000 miles on it. I did a bit of research and found that the filter in the power steering reservoir was clogged. Changed it for 25 dollars and the problem is solved. The filter is built in to the reservoir and was very black. Seems to be a major problem with Caravans and Town and Country's. I'm just glad I went for the lower cost fix before I let a mechanic take advantage of me.
