    Every now and then, this happens when I pull into or out of a parking spot:


    I'll turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, then apply the brakes.. and YEOOOWWW! A metallic squeal so loud, folks across the street turn their heads!

    Dealer checked out the brakes and found nothing. Naturally I couldn't replicate the sound on the dealer's lot (why does that always happen?)

    Anybody else experience this? Only 11,000 miles on the car.

    did the dealer try to yank the wheel and brake? sounds like something is loose when the wheel is turned or something comes in contact only when the wheel is fully turned to the left.
