I just bought a new 2010 Journey SXT (has 950 miles so far ) and yes, it makes a quick loud squealing noise when 1st started on cold mornings. It sounds like the starter is the issue, not sure. And yes, it has the tic, tic, tic noise too until it wams up, and sometimes even when it is warm. Good car overall, so far.
