SOURCE: my car makes a scrapping and or grinding noise when driving and braking like i'm dragging something

Just by the information you put, I would say its your brakes. They are most likely worn out past the minimum wear (3mm). If its whenever you drive maybe you are dragging something? Your exhaust system supports may have failed, maybe something stuck in there and so you are dragging it along. Take a look underneath your car.

If the noise only happens when you brake then its gotta be a problem with your brakes. Sometimes rocks get stuck in between brake pads and rotors, this makes a very annoying squeeling sound until the rock comes loose and falls out. Another possibility, like I said earlier, is that your brake pads have worn out and is now metal on metal. I recommend you go to a shop and get your brakes checked. Brakes are a very important part of your vehicle, safety especially, so I don't recommend doing it yourself unless you know what you are doing.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Ok, it could be a few things, 1. bad break caliper. 2. if you have ceramic breaks, it could be a cracked brake pad, and if they are not ceramic they can still be cracked. 3. if you drive a lot then it could be that you need new breaks again.. 4. also have your back breaks checked along with the front ones..

Possible bad motor mount(s) --only thumps or rattles when power is going to the wheels.

you need new brake pads, rotors, and possibly calipers!!
if a caliper is frozen or sticky it will put continuous pressure on the inner brake pad, therefore causing premature wear of the pad!1 and then of course when then pad gets down to metal, you are metal to metal which will destroy your rotor!!

Need to check for any loose belts first .
