Loud screeching noise coming from car after stops.
This loud screeching noise happens for about 4-5 seconds after I make a stop and then continue accelerating.
Example: I stop at stop light and when the light turns green and I hit the accelator, the car starts screeching loudly for about 5 seconds and then stops.
The weird thing is, it will happen for like 4 days and then for a month, it won't. And then it will have a 4 day streak again. A friend suggested a brake issue, but not only have I just gotten new brakes, it doesn't happen while i'm breaking..only afterward as i'm accelerating.
Also..the car often will not change gears and I have to park, turn it off and then restart it and it does better.
Is something wrong with the transmission or..whats happening?

There are a few possible reasons why your car might be producing a very loud, continuous sound that can only be stopped by disconnecting the battery. Some potential causes include:
1. A faulty starter motor: If the starter motor is faulty, it can cause a loud grinding or buzzing noise when attempting to start the car.
2. A malfunctioning alternator: If the alternator is not functioning properly, it can cause a loud whining or grinding noise.
3. A stuck fan belt: If the fan belt is stuck or has become worn and is slipping, it can cause a loud squealing noise.
4. A stuck horn: If the horn is stuck, it can cause a loud, continuous honking sound.
To determine the cause of the loud noise, it is recommended to have the car checked by a professional mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the issue and suggest the appropriate repairs. In the meantime, to stop the noise, you can try disconnecting the battery as a temporary solution. However, it is important to identify and fix the root cause of the issue to avoid further damage to the car.
i have same issue... good luck to you and me we bought a car with so much unreliability. people have reported spending thousands on unusual repairs on this vehicle. oh god all i want to do now is sell it and get something that can be true to my wallet.
The high pitch sound may come from the brake pads as metal parts hit the disc to signal the owner that it needs change. The metal parts gets exposed when the pads have worn out. The brake also has a hub to cover the disc. See if the metal plate is hitting it but this issue would appear when the wheels are in motion. Check if it is the belts, have the tension checked out. Other than that the bearings are the other items on your wheel that could cause a high pitched sound when you car is in motion.
The only four rotating items under the hood are
engine
power steering pump
A/C compressor
and smog emission pump.

I would check the fluid level on the power steering first. Check for pink fluid leak on the ground,
====
Check the A/C system with the wheel turn to one side and APPLY ALL LOADS.
Example: high beam on,A/C max,radio on and deforster on.
This will give you system a stress test.
All eyes on the pully and locate to part that generate the loud screeching noise.
My bet is on the power steering pump.
Please post more info on the comment window.
I will follow up on it.
