Whistling started at 1,500 miles. At idle or low RPM, a high whistle is heard, and changes pitch with RPM. I had car into dealers 4 TIMES, and Buick REP tells me that it is DESIGNED this way and is my imagination??? NO WAY. I would recommend Buick redesign the ALTERNATOR, or SOLVE THE PROBLEM. This is not good for a new car, and will discourage people from buying a Buick. Any ideas anyone? If I were Buick, I would change Alternators until I got a good one for this car. I thought it could be a vacuum leak, but they said NO.
