My brand new Wrangler is making an aweful screetching noice on a cold start, usually when I slip into 2nd.?

Question

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Answer 1

Your battery is weak, and your belt is slipping on the alternator pulley as it's working harder to charge it. Turn your headlights (or heater) off for 5 seconds until the pulley gets a 'bite'.

Answer 2

If it's brand new, take it to the dealer. That's what a warranty is for.
