ok, i have a problem every time i start my car and begin to pull out/ back out, as soon as i go a few feet, my car makes this wierd, "brrrmm" sound for like a split second, and it sounds like its coming from the left front tire, so i took it back to the honda place and they said it was just the tire rubbing up against something, so they replaced the tires 4 free, but that didnt do n e thing.... i dont know what it is i hope its not bad... does n e one have this problem? or hear this noise only after they start their car and pullout of somewhere???

I have had an issue like that before. I'm not too sure exactly how yours sounds, but it may be a layer of rust on the discs brakes being worn away. Generally speaking, that's normal, especially if your car has sit over night and condensation has formed on your rotors. That mat or may not help you, just my $.02!
Good luck,

I know this might be a stupid question, but does your car have ABS? My SI makes a weird noise when ever I start the car and pull forward. I guess it's the brakes doing a test of some kind...says that in the owners manual. Just a shot in the dark...

U said that the tire is rubbing?? Is it lowered at all or have different wheels/tires. Why did they just replace the tire... its still going to rub, just on a new tire.
