I own a 98 Ford Taurus. Lately, after my car has been parked for a while when I go to pull off, there is a very loud screeching sound. That lasts maybe 5 seconds, then after that I don't hear it anymore until after the next time it has been sitting for awhile. What could this be?
A stray cat, locked brake caliper, belt slippage, bearing going bad, need some more info. on whats happening in performance.

How long does it sit?? Sounds possible like a brake noise where they have glazed over.

My wife used to do that when I went to the bar with my buds, but a quick backhand put a stop to that.
Check your fan belts.
