AFTER ROUTINE FRONT BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT AT 29,000 MILES, I BEGAN NOTICING A SCRAPING/GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM FRONT WHEELS/BRAKES. DEALER STATED IT WAS A BAD BEARING AND REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. TWO WEEKS LATER, SAME NOISE OCCURRED. THIS TIME DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO METALLIC PADS. NOISE BECAME WORSE, AND ONE WEEK LATER CAR WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO INSIDE OF TIRE RUBBING ON INSIDE OF WHEEL RIM.??? SILICONE WAS APPLIED AND NOISE WENT AWAY. FIVE DAYS LATER NOISE HAS REOCCURRED. HAVE NOTICED MANY SUCH REPORTS. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE?*AK
