So I picked the car up today, they were able to easily fix the leak with the freedom top.
The service advisor said the "squeal" was normal after letting the vehicle sit for an extended period of time (something about the oil) and he knew exactly what I was talking about. I really didn't feel like getting into it so I picked it up and left.

Mine has the issue and has since day one. It does it both with cold start and hot start. Up to 1240 miles on it now. If it doesn't stop by 2k ill take it in.

Same for me, more often on cold start. Doesn't do it every time. I'll address with service visit whenever I have more items than just this squeal.

Mine does it in the morning and every time I leave the vehicle off for some hours.
Asked the dealer about it, they said its normal, honestly I don't trust them

Yeah I don't trust my dealer either quite frankly. I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing these noises!

I do hear it every now and again for a split second at start up...

Did they fix the steering issue too? I noticed my steering wheel is "off center" as well.

I suppose, he stated they adjusted the steering, I haven’t picked it back up yet... I’ll update you all tomorrow

Same, not worried about it, doesn't sound like a loose belt.
Least of my worries until I learn otherwise. I love this thing!

The advisor said I had my equalizer improperly tuned, but I feel like the speakers should work fine at any volume or tune
