I am experiencing a loud squeak/squeal when first starting up the car. It continues for about 20 minutes until it stops. I replaced the serpentine belt and the noise stopped for a little bit but came back. The noise is present even when the AC is turned On OR Off. The noise is mainly while accelerating, and stops when I let off the gas or when I brake.

with the mileage on your car, replace the belt tensioner that should take care of it. they should always be replaced when belt is at 90 k
