Hi there,

I have a 2008 Saturn Astra and there is a high pitched squeeling sound when i accelerate from a stop. It has been happening since last year but seems to have gotten worse. It only happens in the summer time. It squeels only when accelerating at low speeds. if I accelerate quickly the sound goes away. but will come back if i come to a stop and accelerate normally again. It doesnt start from 0 RPMs but only at low rpm. It only happens when I first turn on the car and accelerate. If i have been driving for a few minutes and then accelerate from a stop it doesn’t make any unusual sound. It happens in reverse as well as drive.
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks.
