What to do if your Honda CRV is making a squealing noise?

What makes the squealing noise when the steering wheel is turned?

I hope this helps. We gave our 1995 Windstar to our daughter and her three babies and it has always been an excellent vehicle but a couple days ago she went to the store and when she came out it wouldn’t start.
