When it's raining, or on a day when it has rained and the air is still damp, a very loud squeaking sound comes from the engine compartment (when the engine is running, of course.) The van does not need to be moving for this to occur. It sounds like a fan belt squeak, but much louder than any I've ever heard.
Took it to the dealer last Saturday and they replaced a fan belt. Charged us $65.00 since that part isn't under warranty.
Today it's raining again (in Cleveland, Ohio) and the noise is back, same as before.
Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this? I anticipate repeated visits to this dealer (45 minutes away) before they fix it, and the more I know about a possible cause, the better.
The van has 12,000 miles on it.
Thanks,
Dave
P.S. Other than this, we've been very happy with the Sedona.
