The day I bought this car the check engine light came on while driving it home. The seller fooled me into buying since I badly need a scar for my kids I bought it as is". My dad helped me and bought a new batterry, installed it then the light came off but the next day it came on again plus in the highway, everytime I accelerate the hand breaklights turns on. Hellp me.

there is also a clanking thundering sound in the back like there is a tool box being shaken in the trunk.

lastly the engine makes a whistling noise sometimes and accelerates very loud. Please give me answers please help me!

The brake light - Check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder, if low acceleration will make the light come on.
Check engine light-Needs to be scanned with a scan tool to see what code the PCM has stored, this will lead to the cause of it all. If theengine makes a whistling noise look for vacuum leaks under the hood, broken lines, cracks in the boot from the air cleaner to the engine.
Junk in the trunk- Look under the false floor to be sure something isnt loose under there where the spare tire rides. If ok, then you will need to lift and support the vehicle so as to get under it for an inspection. Look for bushings that are cracked/missing. Could be many things so look carefully
