Default Weird grinding feel from the front end

Hi Everyone,

New to the site. I just picked up my 08 TCH couple of weeks ago and so far I love it. However, I have notice a weird grinding feel from the front of the car. I can specially feel it when I am in the EV mode with the ICE off.

The feel wasn't there before or I have never noticed it. I can feel it more when I am cruising and not pressing on gas during lower speed. Is this normal? It feels like it is coming from the front left hand wheel!


Thanks,

Does not sound normal to me. I don't usually hear any thing in my 2007. Might want to get it checked out and try driving with the windows down to see if it is always there or truly just during EV mode.

Sounds like a this could be a brake issue.
