Maintenance/Repairs

my car is a 2003 mazda tribute, it’s been for the most part reliable but there is always something going on with it. This morning i started the car and it took a couple of try’s to turn on, and when i took it out of park into reverse it started moving really quickly as soon as i took my foot off the brake. It never goes that fast but it was immediate. I kept driving and it wanted to go really fast, i was going 45 and it kept trying to go faster even when my foot wasn’t on the gas. when i try to brake it takes forever and lurches towards before it stops, even when i have my foot all the way down on the brake. It sounds super loud as well from outside and when you tap the breaks it squeaks. I don’t know what to do i know like nothing about cars… it someone could help that would be great
