Belt chirp when a/c turns on

[vi4thgen]

Hey there, I bought my 2024 Tacoma TRD sport new in May, around 2k miles is when I started to notice the same squeak noise. I’ve taken it to the dealership and reported it every time I had my oil change and tires rotated, at 11k miles now and they scheduled me to come in today. Turns out there is an active case on this issue and they had to do a conference call with the manufacturers.

They determined the issue is due to the “clutch magnet” in the AC compressor.
They ordered the following parts:
1.Clutch Assy, magnet
2. Gasket kit, overhaul
3. Two ring snaps
Hope this helps!

Thanks, I’ll have them try that!

I also have like 2 chirps on a cold start and I am at around 1700 miles. I don’t seem to hear it if I’m starting and the A/c is in the off position. I don’t know if it was there before. If so I never paid it much attention. I will almost swear I hear it a random a few times when I first start driving but it’s kind of hard to tell. Seems like after everything is warmed up and after 5-10 minutes I don’t notice anything.

I have a 2024 Sr5 and it had this A/C chirp.. long story short I took it into Toyota and it needs a new alternator. Currently awaiting a rental due to the alternator being back ordered (2-4 weeks...) I will update when it is back in my possession!

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.

my dealer is replacing my A/C clutch due to this issue. of course though, it's on back-order.
