Recently, while at a stop, I turned right and the car feels like it did not want to move as I pushed the gas and the front tires (I think they are the tires) felt that they had crazy glue on them. They felt like they were not going to spin. Man, like what a grip. The tires are new and they are the OEM tires.

Another way to describe the sound is if you ever driven a front wheel drive car and you hit the gast the front tires feel like the are gripping onto the pavement and spin a bit and make that road to tire scarpe sound. In this case there is no wheel spin but serious grip.

You can turn left or right and it will make the gripping sound. From a stand still to 30mph and beyond in a straight away at normal acceleration NO PROBLEMS. High speed turns NO PROBLEM, high speed acceleration no problems. Turn left from a stand still or right you get that FEEL--TIRES WILL NOT GRIP THE ROAD FEEL. I hate parking at the mall now.

I wish I could describe this better. PLEASE HELP. Any advice will be appreciated. THANK ALL IN ADVANCE.

Check your alignment...When your fronts squeal when (turning) in the mall parking...It's telling you your alignment is off...

+1 on the alignment. Search for carfixers alignment specs. DO NOT use the factory specs!

The straight up alignment may be fine but have a shop check how much ackerman steer you have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry
