Angry Scared Sh!tless Pt 2

Ok, now that i have more time to talk. A couple of months ago I ntice this wierd vibrating sound everytime i would slightly turn the wheel left (eg. changing lanes.) So i took it to the dealership, the guys could not find any thing wrong with the car, so i had them look again. They said it was tire ware from drinving on an under inflated tire. He said a new tire would stop the noise, and it would not harm the car. I think it may have happen when salesman drove it to me from GA. So i continue to drive the car. Last sunday, I'm driving the car and hear what sounds like metal scaping. When I veered left it seem to get worst. I stop the car look under it and see nothing. I immediatly drive home. On the way home there is no sound. I park the car and look under it witha light and see nothing. I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow. Do you hav any ideas what might be wrong?

Are your tyres now running at the correct pressure? Unsuitable tyres or incorrect pressure can make big difference or perhaps a damaged rim. I might be inclined to take it to a tyre shop and have them check your rims if I were you given what you have just explained.

Oh what about your brake pads and rotors??? Warped rotors can create an odd feeling as it scrapes against your pads.

i had a really loud metallic grinding noise come from the left side twice..

first thought was transmition,
but is sounded like it was coming from the rear.

put it into reverse and heard a clunk and it went away.

2nd time just kept driving.
when i got home there was half a tree caught up everywhere.

has not happened again.
