Trying to find help with the rattling noise under my hood?

What is your question?

I have a 2007 Kia Sportage. It was raining today, but my car drove fine. When I exited the highway I had to stop at the stoplight, however I couldn't help but brake hard. There was some grinding and sliding. But not too bad, so I thought. When I accelerated no issue. But the first thing to go was air conditioner. I didn't think much of it besides that my air conditioner went. After driving for awhile, my car started making rattling noises. When accelerating it gets louder. When I'm not accelerating, its a bit more quiet but not by much. I don't know what to do. I have a wedding coming up and I would hate to have to get money from that pot just to play the guessing game. Please help me.

What makes this problem better or worse?

Nothing

How long has your 2007 Kia Sportage had this problem?
