| Description of the problem | While the vehicle was in motion, i heard an unusual sound and felt vibration under the rear portion of the drivers floor mat. This was most noticeable at speeds 40 and above, on both highway and side roads. It occurred both when accelerating and when coasting. Diagnosis by mechanic resulted in left rear wheel bearings/hubs being replace 9/27/19. This was reported on complaint #11320955. Then on 6/18/20, the same thing occurred, with sound and vibration on the right side of the vehicle. The right rear wheel bearings/hub was replaced. I am very lucky that i did not miss or ignore this sound and have an issue with the vehicle while it was in motion. I am very concerned about the front wheels at this time, as it seems it may happen with them also. |
