Hey guys. Well 2 days ago, I was driving back home and was making a left turn on a green light witht the green arrow light on and as I was in the middle of the intersection turning. I look up and this toyota corolla is going at least 70 or 80 and isnt stopping I totallly floor the brakes as hard as I could and I heard a hard grind when I did it. After driving it a few times now, When in a quiet area and driving slow, I can hear some grindin from the front brakes. I have 3000 miles on it and its a daily driver. I just want to see if I should just change my brake pads, or is it a bigger issue. tHNX GUYS

Hmm. Maybe you sheared off a pin or bolt? Get the dealer to check it.

or the grind noise is actually the ABS

Take it to the dealer. It should not make a grinding noise while driving down the street with the brakes off. There are a lot of possible reasons, none of them are good. Have it checked out.

Should I tell them what really happened, or will they blame me and not fix it, or is it all under warranty no matter what? Sorry, first new car and never really had a warranty before. Thnx guys!

They don't need an explanation of what happened. Just tell them the symptoms and let them check it out. From your description of what happened, it should not have affected the brakes anyway. I've done lots of full performance stops (ABS fully engaged) with my tC and I don't have the issue you describe.
