    When driving over the 40mph and taking slight turns, a warning sound is coming from the front left side of the car. I've researched the cause but couldn't find it. Does anyone have any information?

    You can listen to the sound in the video

    Isn't there something on one of your screens indicating what the beep means? As in warning lights? An auto parts store can check for error codes that are stored when warning lights or beeps happen.

    actually my dashboard also doesnt work. so i can't see any error light or sign about the error. when we scan at auto part store for error code. its gave me a lot of code then I can't decide which code causes this.

    Wow!

    Welcome to the consequences of avoiding problems...

    I think those beeps are for a failing brake system so consequences could be very dangerous. If it's a can't afford it problem, I understand.

    But this website will help you fix everything for super cheap if you or a friend or family member are willing to read & learn and have basic mechanical skills.

    As @ChapmanF has always told us, for brake system diagnosis you simply plug a stiff wire into these two pins under your dash & under your steering wheel to connect them and then start up your car to make your warning lights blink with codes that you count the fast blinks between each pause to diagnose and if you press the brake pedal 8 times in 5 seconds it clears the codes and you can restart the car to see how long till codes come back.

    Of course the main problem at this point is the sweeping over generalization that your dashboard doesn't work. If you really mean that every single light won't work on your dash then your car won't go anywhere. And because you showed a video of the beeping while driving, your claim is not accurate.

    If you want us to help, we need honest and accurate information with as much detail as possible!

    Maybe you might consider sharing those codes with us, then we could help figure out which codes mean what and how to address things.
