ABS brakes would make squealing noises first thing in moring, but later squealing noises would disappear. Brake pads are worn down. Passenger's window would be whistling; has no weather stripping. The spark plugs keeps blowing out. Also, engine head gaskets are not working properly. Whenever the spark plugs are blown, the vehicle would just stop running.
