“While driving/turning my car seems to halt and make a grunting/rubbing noise. I have taken it to the dealer several times who says there is not a problem. However, they have had me replace my brakes pads and rotors twice in the last 10 months. Something is wrong and I believe that whatever the problem is continues to damage my brake pads and rotors.”
