What is your question?
when i first turn a/c on, makes high pitch screeching sound that fades out; doesnt just stop, noise fades. i will turn a/c off during drive, then on again when it gets too hot..i hear this noise when i turn a/c on each time during same trip.a/c works pretty well. could be a bit cooler/colder; but good, not enough for me to take it in for more freon..is noise indication of something worse to come? should i take it in NOW? ive had the freon topped off once b4, yrs ago. (or so i was told...dealership, not sure they did anything). ty

It'd hard to comment on the noise without being able to hear it first hand. it could be a bad fan belt, a loose fan belt, compressor clutch that is going bad or a condenser fan that is fouling something. Safer and perhaps cheaper to get it at least looked at now rather than wait for it to fail.
will do..do not want to be caught in the heat w/o a/c.. do you know what the average/aprx charge will be/should be to have the a/c 'looked at'? btw, just found this site; love it. ive asked 4 questions about 2 different cars and YOU have given me great answers for 3 of my questions in less than 1 hour... THANK YOU PATRICK!!
