i have a 1999 rx300. when i first turn on the car and the a/c is on, the car makes a horrible squeeling noise. if i turn the a/c off then it stops. after driving about a mile, i can turn the a/c back on without the noise. does anyone know what this is and what i need to do about it? thanks, mike

Check the compressor drive belt tension - it's probably slipping.

I don't have an rx but I guess the same belt also drives the alternator which will be under heavy(ish) load after a cold start. The combined load will make it slip.

You need to use it more often....or do you use it full time?

the seals dry out if not used for some time.
