    I have a 2007 Civic LX automatic with 500 miles on it. Today I
    noticed when I am driving between 1-5 mph I get a metallic scraping
    sound coming from the front somewhere. There is nothing dragging and
    it only happens when moving forward at a very low speed. I am taking
    it to the dealership to have it looked at soon but I am wondering what
    it could be and if I should be worried about driving it?

  2. That's the ABS system initializing itself. It's normal.

    My previous car, an 03 Civic, had ABS and I never had anything similar
    to this. It does not happen when I apply the brake and it mostly
    happens at very low speed and occassionally it will happen for half a
    second while driving at higher speeds (around 65-70 mph).

    This sound is similar to dragging a shovel down a concrete road. It
    is a very irritating sound that gets worse when I make a turn, but
    only at speeds less than 10-15 mph.

    I am taking it in tomorrow.

    Seems the problem was a rock that got stuck in the braking system,
    nothing to worry about :)

    I don't think ABS would have made noise like that, at least not
    for mine.

    Keep us posted on what the mechanic gonna say.
