Horrible noise help is the car falling apart?


Hiya people can anyone help got a curtesy car as mine is in being repaired (accident not my fault) but the curtesy car is a Kia Piccaso really really small.
But the thing is only got it yesterday drove home. Today had to drive it and a terrible terrible scary noise when turning left.....no idea what it is a really loud "horrible noise" like something grating I suppose is the best description.
I am going to phone them tomorrow but anyone any idea what it is please.....

God knows Emma but it sounds awful I am really dubious of it never heard anything like it in over 25 years of driving. I "trust" my cars but this thing is scary.

I had that problem with my new car at the beginning of this year Karen, sounds like exactly the same noise! It was something to do with the brakes.
