My MCC 2012 developed this annoying squeaking sound every morning for 3 weeks now. I only have 1500 miles on the car . I went to the dealership and told them about it, so they kept the car overnight and turn on the engine that morning. They denied to hear the sound and told it's mormal. How can it be normal that when I bought the car I never hear that sound. I'm going back to the stealership next week to talk about this issue. It's very frustrating .
