I would suspect a worn or loose drive belt. Can also be an alternator or A/C compressor bearing failing.

What causes a 2005 pt cruiser to squeal How do you fix it?

That depends on how, when and where it is squealing. For example, if the brakes squeal when applied, the brake pads are probably worn down. A squeal from the engine compartment whenever the engine is running could be a loose serpentine belt (especially if the squeal changes a little when you rev the engine).

What might be the problem if driving and then heard a single squeal from engine compartment then a loss of drive unless shifted into 1st or 2nd gear on automatic transmission?

I'd check the throttle cable or the kickdown cable. That squeal you heard in the engine compartment might have been a cable breaking.


Why would the serpentine belt on a 2001 Tahoe squeal?

Incorrect tension, or contamination. A bad bearing in the alternator, A/C compressor, etc will cause excessive stress on the belt, and it will squeal as is slides over the stiff parts. Also, serpentine belts are very sensitive to grease or oil. DO NOT use traditional V-belt dressing on a serpentine belt. The least it will do is squeal. At worst, it will pop off while the engine is running and you're under the hood looking at something. They have quite the bite when they let go.

Automatic transmission fluid does not squeal. You have a different problem. Brakes squeal, bearings squeal, and belts squeal. Fluids do not squeal. You had better take your vehicle to a mechanic.
