When cold I would start out and I heard a grinding noise out the back that almost sounded like the old metal on metal drum brakes. Obviously these are disk and the pads and rotors look fine.

Noticed that a slight right turn would also cause it but still only when the drive train is cold. Once it is warmed up I don't hear it. Suspected maybe emergency brake assembly, wheel bearings or something in the rear end. Slight acceleration seems to cause it but always under 15-20 miles an hour

Then yesterday it happened at start-up in park. It definitely has a rotational sound to it but I was completely still. It's not every time and only when cold.

Any suggestions?
