Vehicle purchased in september 2015 with 18 miles. 3 weeks later when brakes were pressed, they started making this grinding sound. the sound appeared occasionally every few months for a few seconds. brake noise still occasionally occurring in 2019, dealerships said it's just moisture. think it's something else. 3 weeks after purchase engine light comes on with code p2097, then light cuts off a few days later, dealer states just needs computer update. the engine light keeps coming on every few months reading the same code p2097. receive a shift to park message when vehicle is in park and off, have to cut vehicle on and off until the message disappears. took to dealership paid $300 to replace a sensor. still experiencing the same problem every few weeks. the vehicle runs fine minus these reoccurring issues since purchased.
