When I turn off the engine, there is a squeal as the engine runs down. This is the only time I hear this noise. Upon start up and driving there are no noises. Is this a belt or something more serious?

Hello
Some of these vehicles came with an alternator that has a clutch attached to the pulley so the inside of the alternaor continues to spin after the engine is shut down, run the engine and have someone shut it down and see if the noise is coming from the alternator. You may need to replace the alternator to get rid of the noise.
