High pitched noise when stepping on gas pedal

Feb 17, 2006 5 Replies

I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring with 120,000 miles. The car is my daughter's and I just started to drive it. I noticed when I am on a highway going greater than 45 mph, that when I step on the gas pedal I hear a high pitched squeeling sound. The sound stops when I take my foot of the gas pedal and gets louder the more I step on the pedal.



Any ideas?

the pedal? : ) Sorry, but maybe a brake wear sensor? They tend to behave that way.

I would have your exhaust system checked, its possible that it or the convertor is plugged or restricted.

Does this car have a turbo motor? If yes, it is probably just the turbo.

A slipping belt might do the same especially if an accessory has bad bearings.
