Default Less than 1000 miles on the odometer

and I've already developed a mechanical issue.
The front brake rotor is scraping. Especially making a right turn it make the most god-awful sound. Just started yesterday and is getting worse.
Any ideas?

Yes, take it to the dealer, that's what the warranty is for.

Is the pad scraping on the rotor? Or is possibly the rotor is scraping against the wheel?

A buddy of mine and his wife bought their dream car. It's a 2016 Porsche Boxster S. It didn't make five days and lit up with error codes and went into limp home mode. Fortunately, they weren't that far from home and got back to the house (at 20 mph!) and called the dealer, who sent a wrecker out to pick the car up. The problem turned out to be a wheel speed sensor. Since that little item is critical to the brakes ABS and the cars stability control systems, so it's programmed to go into full limp home mode. Seemed like overkill to me. My friend agreed but figured he could probably thank the lawyers for that one. The dealer got the car fixed in a day and here we are, about three months down the road and no more problems.

The manufacturers can't guarantee you won't have any issues, they can only guarantee to fix it if you do.

Best of luck!
