Default Cold Starting

2012 Journey when it is cold out side starting the Journey Squeals sounds like belts,pulls water pump etc.this is extremely loud lasts for about 20/30 seconds
then it's gone.........I have returned the vehicle to the dealer he has changed pullys and belts...............Anyone have ideas as to what the cause is.....or should I just take it to the dealer and leave it........I am really quite happy with the vehicle otherwise

Mine does the same thing. I just live with it. Only happens in extremely cold days.

I have owned 4 Chrysler mini vans and 1 Journey and they have all squealed for a few seconds when starting in cold weather.Never harmed anything.Put 160,000 miles on most of them.112,00 on the Journey and never had a failure due to the squeal during cold weather starting.
