It keeps on beeping 3 times and the brake warning light flashing,also the ABS light is staying on and it makes a squeaking noise when there is a speed bump

I took it to a garage to get tracking done but it still didn't work

check your brake fluid level, alot of the time the parking brake light flashing and beeping is low fluid warning. worth a shot.
One other suggestion, to eliminate the most obvious- check the area of the parking brake lever, to make sure something (sunglass case, drink mug, whatever) isn't preventing the parking brake lever from being fully in the "down" position. Further, check to make sure the parking brake lever switch is indeed seeing the parking brake as "off". (I suspect VCDS can be used to check this, but I'm not sure).
about the squeaking noise, you got me.
