My Kia Sedona started making a grinding sound when driving or turning, if I keep the wheel just right it doesn't then it got louder and louder and now there's a grinding sound and feel, which is made much worse when braking, also when braking I can feel a vibration in the peddle now, like it's not turning on a perfect circle but more like on an oval so it has like a bounce in the peddle when braking. And the ESC light is coming on.What could this be? Rotors? Wheel Bearing? Ball bearing? It's only on the driver's side.There was also a heated rubber smell in the beggining that accompanied the whistle/howl sound. The grinding sound is always there when driving and much worse when braking, you can really hear it. I had the breaks done two months ago.

Which brakes were "done" and what was done to them? Your description suggests a problem with worn front brake pads that are grinding metal-on-metal. The brake pedal pulsation is typically due to warped rotors.
