My 2007 vehicle squeals inside the car when I start it up in cold weather since purchase. The heater blower was replaced. They thought maybe it was the break line and tested that or a loose seal or the heater vents turned too far one direction. They had me replace my oil filter to see if that was it. After 1 year, Hyundia has been unable to determine the reason for the squeal noise so has decided that maybe it is the battery amps charging the alternator and it is normal noise and are refusing to fix it. Very frustrating. Now I'm stuck with a squealing car.

Try taking it to another dealer.

You have every visit documented .
I'm sure the dealer or at least i hope the dealer has their Techincal Asst Center involved.
If it is design intent,then they should be able to provide you with a similar vehicle(s) to compare it to to see if it is in fact design intent and a normal characteristic of the vehicle.Or,on your own,find another like vehicle and compare it.
If your not satisfied with their diagnosis/answer,contact corporate customer asst for help .If its not design intent and they cannot fix it,they need to get engineering involved.They can send an engineer out to assist the dealer with this concern.

I hate to offer this,but look into Lemon laws in your state.Provided you purchased the vehicle new.
Lemon Car
The statutes define lemon cars and require that manufacturers (not dealers) remedy the defects. Most statutes define "lemons" as cars that continue to have a defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the car after a reasonable number of attempts to repair the car or after the car has been out of service for a particular number of days

I have actually gone that route already and the arbitrator said because it does not impair the driving of the vehicle the lemon law will not allow me to get a new vehicle. No other dealership will look at it as a second opinion because the hyundai manager already decided he thinks there's nothing wrong with the car and so won't cover it under warrenty. It's just frustrating more than anything. I'm hoping someone else has had this same problem and knows how to fix the squeal or siren noise.
