Description of the problem	I purchased car around september 2013. I started to noticed sometime later in 2013. As i pull out of my driveway, get to the end of driveway and stop to wait on traffic. I noticed this grinding like sound when i apply my brakes. However i also noticed this sound when i applied my foot from the brake to gas pedal. So when i took car in for service i asked if my brakes would be checked, they said yes. Told me brakes were fine. Continued to hear this noise. Explained the noise on one occasion at the dealership while getting service and they still said nothing was wrong. It is now january 2015 and i still here that same noise. I decided to check online to see if others were having this same issues and since i was able to find at least 2 other cases reported. I thought maybe i should report what was happening to me to and hopefully it would be looked at sooner rather than later. They called it brake hydraulic problems. I have no idea what or if any solutions are being looked at because these people reported this back in 2012 and here it is 2015 and i haven't heard anything about any recalls.
