When CRV is idling, I hear a chirping noise from the front. Have been hearing it since I bought the vehicle with only 7 miles on it 1 1/2 mths ago.
I could not imagine the noise was coming from my new car
But everywhere I go the chirping noise follows me.
Is this normal, and if not then what should I do?
