Default Rubbing sounds and feel as your driving?

I've been experiencing the following in my Macan. As I drive, it feels as if the parking brake is engaged and you can hear what I would call a rubbing/resistance sound as I drive through a parking lot or as I begin to accelerate. I also feel the resistance so to speak through the wheel and gas pedal. Has anyone experienced similar feedback? I have 15,000 miles on it now and when new didn't recall this happening. Trying to have some feedback for the dealer before I take it in on Monday to check on it.

Does your parking brake lever on the console act and sound normal? Is the sound coming from the rear? The parking brake is supposed to be self-adjusting and may not be releasing. Another possibility would be some foreign object caught between a brake backing plate and the brake rotor. Get it looked at ASAP.

Have a floor jack? Lift up each wheel and spin the tire. Each wheel should spin freely.
I had a rock lodge between the rotor and the dust shield on the wife's ex5... Made a hell of a racket.

The rubbing turned into jerking slipping motions as I slowly accelerated. At the dealer know getting a new transfer case.
