1. Be forewarned...if you buy a Vibe with Contis...you will be disgusted with the performance...of the tires and the car.2. Is there anything that can be done about this. I've tried the dealer...they said I didn't rotate them. I had them rotated at a local shop every 6-8k....just like my other cars....

Yes, rubbing noise coming from the front. Started at 18000mi. Back to dealer once for tire rotation (their call). Its getting worse so I have another trip to the dealer. Happens in all weather, under all conditions. Model is Base Vibe, AT...otherwise a good reliable car.Really has me worried though ...
