Hello guys,I am from Egypt and I just got the new Qashqai which is really nice & like it lots. The strange thing that I noticed is a strange sound of friction like itching in the front wheels for the first 10 or 15 minutes in my trips. I went to the local vendor and their reply was that this is a normal behavior for the wheels since there are different materials for the different parts that are affected by the heat absorbed due to the weather here, but after making few miles/kilometers this friction sound goes away. Is anybody facing such an issue?

Makes you wonder if something trapped (grit/ sand) in front brake discs/pads, which when warmedexpand & noise stops. Of it persists tell them you want pads removed & checked
