Car squeals in morning when driving?

It's more than likely your serpentine belt but if you just replaced it then look for damage or shiny spots on the belt this will be an indication if a failed pulley if it only does it while in a turn check your power steering pump pulley good luck.

Yup. You have a loose belt. Check your owners manual. It maybe all one belt or just a few but the self-adjusting belt is not quite right. It maybe that somehow they did not install the belt correctly.

The belt that runs the power steering is the one your description indicates.

Pulley misalignment can lead to hot spots and or burned pulley paint. the idler/tensioner can change itself out of alignment as it wears and its spring ages.

The wet air condenses as it cools and dewpoint is reached you may attract moisture there.

oxidation and /or corrosion can start.

Ask your dealer if there is a tech service bulletin addressing this concern and get the number for any updated part(s).

I would guess one of the belts is not tight enough by a tad. New belts some times loosen shortly after installation. Unstiffen. This engine has three belts and one tensioner so not that easy to pinpoint cause. Try getting a water sprayer with a stream spray and spray the individual belts until it stops. In the morning. Or you can wait til the noise worsens.

If you can push or pull the serpentine belt more than 1/8 inch between the two widest pulleys, you need a new serpentine belt TENSIONER MECHANISM.

Sounds like it is the serpentine belt or the tensioner pulley. Here is a video on how to diagnose it:



Fan belt

Has anybody mentioned water pump or alternator? When these wear out their bearings squeal.

My 2001 Hyundai Tiburon squeals in the mornig when I'm turning and is louder while accelerating while turning. I park outside so usually every morning when I'm leaving for school my car is covered in condensation. It runs completely fine later in the day when I get out of school. I've searched around and I think it has something to do with the belts but I just replaced them about a month ago. If anyone can give me some kind of diagnosis for this problem that'd be great and a solution to it would be much appreciated.
