| Description of the problem | My 2016 subaru outback 3. 6 limited has 64,000 miles on it. Recently i noticed an unfamiliar noise. When i brought it to a mechanic he said it needed a wheel bearing and the wheel was about to fall off. He replaced the wheel bearing/hub but said the noise was still there and suggested i bring it to a subaru dealer for further evaluation. When i brought it to the subaru dealer they said it need two additional wheel bearings. They said it was unsafe to drive and gave me a loaner car until it can be fixed. As my car is still waiting to be fixed i don't have all the documentation yet. But i still do worry when and if that 4th bearing/hub will fail. |
