| Description of the problem | Rear wheel bearings need replaced at 104,000 miles at 80,000+- miles my wife noticed low pitched roaring at highway speed but did not inform me or dealer (her vehicle and has always been dealer serviced) i drove the vehicle after 104,000 dealer lof service and observed extremely loud roar at all speeds, we returned the vehicle to dealer and was told new wheel bearings are required, at our expense. Vehicle has never been off road or rough housed it is absurd at this day & age that factory wheel bearings last less than 100k |
