Bad sound with belts

i started the G up and the belts just started squeaking like no tommarow. This was the first start up in 5 weeks. I'm assuming it was just from not driving it for awhile. Has this ever happened to aynone else??

It's probably because you are living up North. It happen to my old Prelude when it's in the cold. All you have to do is open the hood and tighen the belt. Push the belt with your index finger. If it gives alot, tighten it.

Probably because it was sitting so long. If it continues, you'll have to tighten the belts.

There is a service bulletin on the belt problems. My 2003 G ate 2 sets of belts in 70Km. The dealer knew of the problem. They had to re-align the AC compressor by inserting shims in the mount. This re-align labour and the replacement belt was covered under warranty. Maybe you should have the dealer check this out. If I hadn't complained about the noise I more than likely would have been stuck for new belts every 30-50Kms.
