Engine sounds like it squeaks when excellerates

When I first get in my car, and start to drive, it squeaks as I start to drive, turning the steering wheel and excellerating.

    would this cause the engine light to go on?

The serpintine belt needs to be cleaned or replaced, or sometimes a power steering pump or tensioner can be the cause

Why has steering started squeaking loudly when parking or low speed turning?

I would say it have to be bad joints or breaks.

Steering is all electronics these days so it can only be loosen.

ACCELERATING ISSUES & SQUEALING/LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND UNDER HOOD WHEN I TURN ON CAR

take it back to the guy who did the job and have him adjust the drive belt for the alternator and power steering as that will be the most likely cause of the squealing . If it is an automatic have the fluid level checked . Have the fault codes read and have him fix any sensor problems.

Truck squeaks at start-up and goes away after 2 seconds...at times when I'm driving it will squeak and the voltage meter drops below 14 while squeaking. get off the gas and it stops and everything goes...

Your serpentine belt tensioner may be bad,not holding enough tensioner and not letting your alternator keep a charge on your battery,get some one to sit in your vehicle,open hood,have them start it while you watch the belts turn and have them rev the engine up to see if the belt turns loosely.another thing to look at is the A.C.compressor locking up .Power steering pump could be locking up,just check it out while it's running and see.

I want to know if it is dangerous to drive with a squeeky clock spring in my van

Yes its risky. Dont drive with that noise from clock spring.Its indication of its failure.
I believe this is the "clockspring" -- the electrical cable inside the steering column that connects your steering-wheel-mounted electrical controls to the rest of the car. ("Controls" used be just the horn.) The cable wraps around the steering column so it can turn with the steering wheel. Sometimes it starts to rub and squeak.

My car makes a humming noise when excellerating and is especcially noisey when turning steering wheel to the left. there is also a continous squeak. my husband put WD40 on the bolt on power steering box...

If WD-40 got on belt, and squeak went away for a while, it may just need a new belt. The humming noise sounds like a worn wheel bearing that should be checked and replaced if needed. If squeak goes away when you push slightly on brake pedal, it may be rotor on same side as wheel bearing making the noise due to slight shifting of rotor because of worn bearing.You can try swapping tires on front from one side to other to confirm it isn't tire problem as well. If noise shifts to other side, then it's a tire.
