Congrats! That "ear-splitting screech" you hear when starting has confounded me since I got mine in March. It sounds like a starter, only happens when cold, is very brief, and the SAs cannot replicate it. My car's at the dealer now, and they're keeping it another couple of days to try replicating it. I doubt they'll be able to. They did provide me assurance that if the starter or something related goes out in the near future (whatever that means, warranty expired yesterday, won't put this in writing), they will handle it since the problem's been documented multiple times. I've found nothing concrete about it in searching the forums.
