Just wondering if it’s normal or not but when I turn my a/c on and the condenser kicks on it sounds like my belt is slipping or something’s getting jammed and it’s causing a chirping noise loud enough to hear with the windows up while driving. is it normal/anyone else having this happen to them?

too many
It can happen on any vehicle when the compressor load is engaged. If it continues, have your dealer check it out.

Thank you for responding, and It only chirps when I first start it in the morning, and then every time the compressor kicks on when I’m driving it will happen.

I haven’t noticed anything but I’ll keep an ear out for it.

I have almost the same thing going on. At cold start-up I'm hearing a belt chirp. Doesn't happen every time though. The compressor also kicks on very hard at idle and it almost feels like a misfire. I wonder if its related to the chirp

Did you guys ever get a video of this issue? Wondering if I have the same thing going on. Really noisy during cold starts and with the AC on. I also feel the "misfire" but I was just chalking it up as the AC clutch engaging and causing a little shake.

Of course every time I try to take a video, it doesn't happen. I was thinking the same thing with the a/c clutch. I'm going to try and get it in to the dealer soon. I'll report back with their findings.

Yeah keep us posted.

I got a little belt chirp today when turning on the A/C but not haven't had it happen like in the video while the idle is dropping.
Do you guys get a pretty loud clattering/rattling noise while the A/C compressor is engaged? When the A/C turns on mine starts rattling around until disengages the clutch and then comes back when it reengages. Might be just paranoid idk.

I also have this exact same thing happening to my 2024 Tacoma TRD offroad. Only happens on a cold start and then once I engage the AC i get two quick chirps and then it goes away. Anyone have answers yet?
