checkstr Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi...I have this annoying squeal when I start my car and the engine is cold. It lasts only for a few minutes (when the engine is revving high to warm up, and when I press on the gas). After that, it goes away and never happens when the engine is warm. I'm assuming belt or tensioner? It's a 2014 DJ Ltd. with about 74,500 miles. Seems a little early to need a new belt IMO, but perhaps this is a common issue?

Summer Solstice Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I've been having this same common issue in my 2016, which is not listed in the TSB. It only shows up in this sub-zero weather. Fortunately, if it poses a problem, I am covered under warranty.
