I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring with 120,000 miles. The car is my
daughter's and I just started to drive it. I noticed when I am on a
highway going greater than 45 mph, that when I step on the gas pedal I
hear a high pitched squeeling sound. The sound stops when I take my
foot of the gas pedal and gets louder the more I step on the pedal.

Any ideas?

Rubber duck like this one http://iamsparticus.com/images/yellow-duck.gif
between the pedal? : )

Sorry, but maybe a brake wear sensor? They tend to behave that way.

I would have your exhaust system checked, its possible that it or the
convertor is plugged or restricted.

Check your belt(s) and pulleys.

Does this car have a turbo motor? If yes, it is probably just the turbo.

A slipping belt might do the same especially if an accessory has bad
bearings.
