Exclamation got a question

ok so ive noticed that there is a squeaking like sound coming from the left side of the car when i drive. i only used to hear it whenever i went on the interstate or goin over 70 and if i take a turn a little bit too quick. now im hearing it a little more often. also when i take off, my e-brake light flashes on then turns off.

do any of these sound serious?

You should probably take it to a shop and have the check it out. It could be a number of thing causing the noise.

Does the light go off every time?
What kind of squeaking noise?
When your sitting in the drivers seat, everything sounds like it is coming from the left side.
Why don't you pull your rear wheels off and take a look see. Just my opinion.

well the light only goes off when i take of a little quick...so i think the problem with that is just the actual take off but im not sure.

its like a squeaking, chirping like noise im really not sure how to describe it better then that. and yes its coming from the left side. i havnt had a good amount of time to actually looker under the hood to see if maybe somethings just loose but hopefully i can take a look tomorow.

Check the condition of your brakes pads while you're at it
