This morning I started my van and it ran fine. I stopped for a few minutes left the van running so I could run into the store. When I came back out there was a humming sound coming from the engine.

I have never heard this sound before and it would quiet down a bit but then when I accelerated it got louder. My battery light also came on. I drove for about twenty minutes and when I got to work I turned the van off for a few minutes then turned it back on.

It started fine but the humming sound was still there. Are there people out there with the same issue or is this a recall?

Looking for any answers to help.

no recalls for that. take the fan belt off and see if noise is still there if not then it is either fan belt and tensioner or accessories.
