Hey everyone, need some help here! So, my Ford Edge makes this really loud squeal when I first start it up in the morning or after it’s been sitting for a while. The sound goes away after a few seconds, but it's super embarrassing, and I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to happen. I’ve read it could be a belt issue, like the serpentine belt or maybe a tensioner that’s not doing its job?
I haven't checked yet, but could this be happening because of cold weather? Or maybe the belt is just worn out? I don’t want to wait too long and end up with an even bigger problem (or a huge bill). Anyone else had this happen, and if so, what did you do to fix it? Should I panic, or can I drive around for a bit with it squealing?
