Last night we left to Kanab and after about 90 minutes we heard a chirping/whistling sound from our car that happened even while we were idling. When we researched it, we thought it was our serpentine belt wearing out and we felt uncomfortable starting a long road trip with that risk. We turned around and went to bed.
Today I woke up and quickly got an appointment at the Toyota dealership. They weren’t finished with the car until 5:00 and so we all had a nice cozy relaxing day together while we were waiting for the car to be fixed.
The funny thing is when we picked up the car, they said they couldn’t replicate the noise and they checked everything under the hood and the car was in great shape for a road trip. They put in new spark plugs while they were in there since we were over 100,000 miles, but there were no issues with the car.
So we set off again. The car made the noise again on the way down, and then I turned off the fan for the heat and the sound stopped. It somehow coming from our heating system, but that didn’t seem like anything to worry about and the sound eventually vanished altogether.
We arrived in Kanab late at night. Here are Lydia and Mary, ready for for their Best Friends Sanctuary Weekend!
