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

Why would the car cut off when the air conditioner is on?

First blush guess: the compressor is siezed, so that the engine can't turn it. If you rev up the engine a bit before you turn it on, you might find that the engine will load, but not die, and the belt will slip/squeal/smoke.


What is the loud noise when breaking?

Probably the brake pads. These squeal loudly to warn the driver of impending pad erosion and urgent replacement of the same. If you continue without replacing them the squeal will get louder and eventually the brake disc (or rotor) will get damaged.
