Car makes a very, very loud screeching sound when started with A/C or heating on (but more commonly with A/C). The sound will sometimes die down or stop once A/C is turned off, but not always. Puddles can trigger the sound as well. Sound can be heard mainly upon inital startup but can occur after car is in motion.
