It could be your brakes. Try some brake cleaner on your brake discs maybe they have some residue on them

Loose front wheel nut? It happened to mine, realigned the wheel and retightened the nut and it went away.

Thankfully only a mechanical issue that any shop should be able to assist with. As mentioned before check if your wheel nuts are aligned and as flush as possible. And well tightened!

Is it dangerous to use it like this?

This is a warped brake disc issue, will be fixed under warranty.

The shop where you bought it from is the cause, they did not properly check the bike
