Hey all,
Proud owner (ok, leaser) of an 04 Maxima. Not even 300 miles on it yet, when today, from what seems to be coming from the right-front wheel only, is a really bad squeeling while driving. As long as the weels are in motion, the squeeling is there. The faster you go, the louder it is. It sounds like metal on metal.
Any idea what this is? Brakes stop the car normally, only this ear-piercing screetch is present. Help!

the thing is under warranty, take it to the dealership
I once found a small stone had wedged itself between a front rotor and environs, yielding a continuous screech. I had to remove the tire to see what happened. This was on an '87 Trooper II, which I disposed of long ago.
Yeah I'm going to try and do it tomorrow.
Well, the noise went away. Was in all sorts of conditions today to try and replicate it. City driving, highway driving, hard braking, cold engine, warm engine, hard acceleration. No such luck replicating the noise. I inspected the discs, and no unordinary scuff marks.
Ah well.
