Looks like a brake cable or line. Best let the dealer fix it up.

looks like a gas line for a clothes dryer to me. if your e-brake still works, i bet it is just some road debris.

Yes, Just like the rest of opinions take to your dealership and have them inspect it. It should be under warranty and if not complain till it is!!!

Jack the thing up using your emergency jack and instructions contained in your owner's manual and look at it. C'mon, a little dirt never hurt anyone.

Looks like an old brake cable shield you ran over and got hung up on something...

Yeah I kinda feel a little stupid by posting about that, especially seeing that when I took a closer look at it and saw it was just a spring like cable thing really really wedged up underneath there that I musta picked up on the road. I had two people look at it and kinda give it a tug and both said i needed to take it in immediately. So last nite, I just got underneath it and saw it really wasnt connected to anything. Also part of it was really rusted so I konw it wasnt part of the car. Sorry for crying wolf on this one, just thought I'd post about it before I took a closer look. Thanks for the responses everyone...

That's what I thought it was.
It couldn't have been the e-brake cable as most cars (I think) have the e-brake connected to the rear wheels only. Also, the cable is enclosed by the wheel well, couldn't have just popped out, out of no where, with the wheel well still in place.

Glad to hear it was nothing.
