Hello, Bout a while ago I hit a deep and ever since then my car trembles when I turn on either the ac/heater, and when I took a trip out of town, when I turn the a/c on my car pulls to gain speed, it started smoking underneath the hood, and it made a squealing noise, what could that possibly be?

Can you stick your computer in there so I can see where the smoke is coming from? Better yet, did you look at it? As a wild guess, I'd have to say something got smashed against the air conditioning compressor clutch. When you turn the AC on, either the clutch is rubbing on something or the belt is sliding over the locked-up clutch. Someone is going to have to actually open the hood and look inside to see what's happening. I'd recommend a mechanic.

I don't have any idea what "when I turn the a/c on my car pulls to gain speed" means, but I'm guessing it's related to the smoking problem.
