Exclamation Belt/Engine Squeaking

Hello everyone,

So today I had all my windows open and when I parked I heard a faint squeaking sound coming from my car. So before I turned my engine off I took a video of it, I have no idea if its been doing this for a while or just now. I also want to note its been raining here alot, and at 4pm today on the highway I hit some puddles at 30ish after breaking(poor visibility), so I don't know if it got wet or anything.

It has currently 33,242 Miles on it. I got it at around 32,500 Miles on the 10th of may. It is fully stock.I had half a tank when I left the dealer and now just filled up on third.

I have bumper to bumper warranty since I got it certified, they said they checked all the belts and stuff. But who knows if they really did check it.


I have to go back to the dealer to get some weather stripping for my car, so while I am there they can fix this issue. But better knowledge of the issue I am having will assist in fixing it. I do think its the belts, but I don't know much about Engines right now.

Is it safe to drive the car now without causing harm?


Thanks

its probably just wetness in the belts

I have an 03 fully stock sedan and after leaving it in the garage overnight (in Ontario) it squeaks faintly when i start up. The noise goes away after a few minutes driving when the engine has warmed up~

I do hope so, Ill start it up tomorrow hope its gone :O. But having any audible squeaking is irritating and annoying even for only 1 min on start up.

I would expect a rundown unmaintained car to do this not an almost new car that's maintained properly.

yeah i know what you mean, i almost had a heart attack when i heard the squeaking start =P It was annoying at first, cause I felt like i was driving one of those rundown 20 yr/o unmaintained beaters, but i guess after a while, you get used to it.

Its not anything that hurts performance at least
