	While backing up from park position front brakes make a low groan or rubbiing sound like the calipers are not releasing properly.have had in in the dealer twice,once they put molycote grease on the pads,then they replaced the pads and turned rotors all done with less than 5,000 miles,still has the problem.also seems like once you brake and come to complete stop and start again takes alot of power to get going like there is a drag on the front end.also rotors a very hot.
