My 300C has about 7,907 miles on it.
Whenever the temperature drops below freezing, and I go to start the car in the morning, there's this most god-awful noise.
Yesterday it was 16 degrees in the morning. I had left the HVAC control in the low auto position when I had last turned off the car. On start-up the car made a horrific metallic SCREACH/scream noise, then I heard all the fluid running through the heating system. That was probably the second or third time I had heard that noise.
SO I thought, it must be the Heater pump or whatever trying to turn after being frozen all night. So today I made sure the climate control was off before starting it, and the same noice happened again (it was warmer today--17 degrees). It's quite disconcerting, to say the least. It sounds like metal binding or something.
Has anyone else had that kind of occurance? I don't even know how to explain it to the dealer without making me seem looney.
