Car: 06EX Automatic
I got into my car this morning (9:30AM-ish) to go to work, and when I went to put the car in drive, it started making this awful squealing noise (like someone saying 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' in a high pitch-but not too high). It happened as soon as I shifted over reverse and into drive. I put the car back into park, it stopped.

I did this a few times, and then drove the mile down the street I needed to go in order to drop something off. It stopped went for a minute or two, then stopped.

Now, it's been raining here since last night, and is going to continue to rain all day.

On Thursday, I have the recall done for the rerouting the drive belt (?) and had them upgrade the firmware on the computer, due to the transmission hanging up. I was wondering if water just got in there and it was slipping, or what. I park on the street, so the car is constantly exposed.

Any thoughts on this? I feel like I'm making a post every other month due to problems with this car. I've got to go back by Honda at some point this week to pickup a part. When I had my car in for the recall, they broke the little clip on the front of the car, which holds the hood rod down. I think everytime I go in, they break something.
