    THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT NHTSA WAS CONTACTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRENCE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY WHEELS BUT I'M NOT SURE OF THIS. THE DEALER IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR THE REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ADVISE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL. THEY TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION BY REMOUNTING THE TIRES BUT THIS HAD NO EFFECT. THE PROBLEM IS NOT NOTICABLE WHEN IT IS RAINING.*AK
