Description of the problem	I have a 2005 freestar sport van. When it is relatively hot outside and i've driven for about an hour or so, there is this loud squealing noise coming from the front of my van. It is very annoying and gets louder with time traveled. I've taken this van back to the dealer from where it was purchased. They've replaced the brake pads saying that this could be the problem. It didn't change, the squealing kept coming. The mechanic said that he had done some form of research through the internet and thinks it could be the wheel bearing. What a scare this is!!!!! Has anyone had this same problem?? The garage will not do anything about it until i can bring it in while it is still squealing so they can take it for a roadtest. It's been a year since i've bought this van from a reputable garage in cambridge, ontario. I'm scared to go anywhere with it especially with my grandchildren in the van when we go on holidays. Is there a great concern here????----------please email me back with some info to [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
