On startup, car squeals extremely loud for about 15 seconds, then stops. Does the same thing whenever sharp turns are made. Also tend to smell burning rubber too. HELP!

That squeal is your serpantine belt or (drive belt) it may be in need of adjusting or it may need to be replaced. Either way it should be an easy fix and relatively inexpensive fix.Good luck. Worst case scenario a bearing in your power stearing unit is bad, which would cost a bit more to replace, but not the end of the world if thats the only problem with your car. :)
