I do warm up my car in the morning by waiting about a minute...then I have to drive slowly out of my neighborhood for ~2 miles at 20mph. I haven't had the time to take my car to the dealer, but if you guys find out what exactly it is, let me know. I'd be very interested in what this sound is and if there is a fix to it.
I am not quiet sure if I have the same issue, b/c I also noticed that as I make a 1st complete stop (ie, out of driveway onto the street) I can hear a SHARP METAL GRINDING NOISE (only at the front brakes).

Please let me know if anyone also has this issue, thank you.
