I have a brand new CRV w/ 1500 miles on it. While I was on the highway it was making a slight squeeking sound (for maybe 2 or 3 seconds) when I accelerated. It didn't do it everytime, ony occasionally...when I was in the 58-70 mph range. At first I thought it was when I was using the cruise control, but it did it a few times when I wasn't using the cruise control. What could this be?

Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy), would the noise only appear when you accelerated and then subside once the desired speed was reached?

It didn't even last the entire time I was accelerating, and like I said it didn't happen everytime I accelerated.

Okay. I doubt you really have any major problem. Being that the vehicle is so new you may just have a poorly adjusted belt on the engine. One other possibility, which was common onm the CRV's before yours, is a bad water pump bearing. These had a tendancy to make noise but with more frequency then what you are experiencing. IN my opinion it is prbably the belt. I would just be sure to take it back to the dealer and have them inspect it under warranty. Let me know if you have any other questions.
