Why does my car squeal when I turn the fan on?
A loud squeal when accelerating could be that you have a loose or worn fan belt. Usually if your fan belts are worn, your timing belt needs replaced as well. Worn bearings, bent or broken blades, and unbalanced rotating assemblies can cause a fan to screech, howl, or otherwise make noises it shouldn’t.
