Driver side front wheel.

My driver side front wheel is squeaking. It does it when the wheel is rotatiing, mostly during acceleration. Does anybody have any clue what this could be? car is still under warranty so the dealership should be able to fix it.

My guess..... with little or no additional info..... wear indicator on the front disc pad. Does it go away when you apply the foot brake? Only when you hit the go pedal? Slow...fast?

no, it just does it when the car is moving, turns and all. it is not a constant noise tho, it goes on and off alot.

Finding random noises are a b!otch!!!!! Only thing that comes to mind is a "somewhat" loose front wheel bearing. I wouldn't rule out debris caught in the pad if you've been in a lot of rain. I'd be trying to get next to a wall and see/hear if it comes "on" more often than you are normally hearing it.....wag the streering wheel too....see if you can make it go away.
Take it to the dealer for the warranty check....the more info you give'em the more likely they will find it.

It's consistent with the rotation of the tire? That would eliminate a bad bushing.

I am noticing now it is mostly on turns and when i gently hit the breaks. Could this have something to do with a bent break rotor? I just had the wheels aligned about a month ago as well. I do not know if that would change anything.
