I've recently had this problem...but it goes away after a while when the car is warm but it still squeaks but not as loud. I have 40k on my and it recently started making that noise at 39k. So I dunno what's wrong but car seems fine, might just take it to my shop to get it looked at. But yea take it into the dealership since I'm pretty sure it's still under warranty.

Mine does it too. I've got 35,500 miles. It comes and goes, I don't think it's anything to worry about....it is kinda annoying though.

i get a squeeking noise like that too. but not when i press the clutch. i get it when i press the gas. i took it to the dealer and they told me it was a air going into the intake as i pressed the gas. whenever i press the gas, especially when driving at speed, it would make that squeeking noise. it made sense to me so i was satisfied. please let me know if that may be wrong though.

my car has 11000 miles on it.

A squeek or a whistle? Everyone's tC whistles, it comes from the thottle body at partial throttle tip in.
