Hi there, about 18 months ago I took the car to the dealer because of a loud belt noise and they said all the belts were bad and needed changing. They changed then and all was well for awhile.
about 5 months later, they started squeaking loudly again and I went back to the dealer about 3 months after the squeaking started. They said there was an oil leak on the belts and they needed changing again.
Of course the squeaking started a few months later and when I again returned to the dealer, I was told that this model and year vehicle just has this problem and so the belts need changing once more. The service guy assured me that he had the same car and had the same problem. Again they changed the belts and within 3 weeks, there was the squeaking again. Its typically when I first start the car and EXTREMELY LOUD for about 3 minues then sofer until the car warms up, but then again periodically when I drive or turn the sheel. Now I went to another mechanic (a friend of a friend) and he tells me the belts are bad and need changing.
Can you guys tell me if something is wrong or am I just being taken for a ride.
Thanks
