When I have my account running sometimes immediately I hear a sound like it's coming from under the left hand side of my car. It sound like a creaking noise. I can also feel it in my brake pedal. It's worse when I turn the wheel in either direstion. I thought it may be caused by access water from the sc landing on something under the hood. If I haven't run my account all day it doesn't do it. So this only happens in the summer.

Noises like that must never be ignored. Have the steering and suspension systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. The most likely suspect is a worn lower ball joint. If that separates, it can lead to loss of control and a crash.
