Front wheel bearing failure: While driving on interstate, noted humming in front of vehicle. Continued to drive and noted only hummed above 40 mph. Changed tires and rotated wheels. Continued to hum but louder. Took it into Honda service where front wheel bearings were replace since the left had failed\, right had leaked grease. (Honda Civic 2001; 89000 miles.) fortunately we did not wait too long.

My 2001 Honda Civic ex SRS light came up last week. This car had lot of issues since I bought in 2000 December 1. radio replaced 1 month after purchase. 2. right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500. 3. side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor. 4. front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work. 5. replaced front struts in 2006 6. power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. SRS light came up and stays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired. Overall I think 2001 Civic is a piece of junk.
