I'm hoping someone has a clue what this is. Occasionally when I start driving my car (after its been sitting for a little while), it has this pretty loud squeeking or squeeling noise when the tires are rolling. Something odd I've noticed is that when I turn to the right, the noise stops - but when I straighten out, its back. Turning to the left doesnt make a difference in the noise or the volume of the noise. The noise usually goes away after a mile or so - its just embarassing to have my Infiniti squeeking like that!

Failing power steering belts and pulleys?

How long has it been since all accessory drive belts have been inspected or replaced?

Last month I had what was supposed to be a tune up and they said belts/fluids all look good. But the noise was happening before and after the tune-up.

Well, take a bright flashlight under hood and inspect the belts. If you see cracks or fraying, they didn't get replaced, and you need to find a new shop. Even if they were replaced, the pulleys may be shot.

Is it coming from under the hood or from around the wheels? If its around the wheel wells check your wheel bearings. I had a simlar issue in a past non-Infiniti car. turned out one of my bearing was on the way out.
