Default 2013 Random front end noise

I have a 2013 Impala LS and I have a random occuring noise in the front end. Today I was leaving my sub division and I went to accelerate from a stop sign, and the car didn't want to move at first. It mad the sound like the traction control was active and then it took off. I also notice sometimes when I make a left turn I can hear a grinding sound. I took the caliper off last weekend and the slide pins both move freely with the caliper. It has 41,000 miles on it, but I don't want to take it to the dealer if it's not going to be a replecateable issue. Any ideas?

So you are out of warranty? I wish I had your deep pockets to drive 41,000 miles in 2.5 years... dam..

So are you brake pads sensors hitting the rotor? The pads do wear out....the metal sensors hit the rotors and make a screech noise.

Assuming these are mostly highway miles and therefore not much brake usage - Are your hub bearings shot?
