Recently thought my car sounded louder than usual upon acceleration at 40 mph and above but didn't' seem to be from engine or transmission and I wasn't too sure if it always sounded like that. Several days later I received a recall notice for ABS rear wheel sensor O-ring inspection, which said it could affect my rear wheel bearings if the 0-ring was defective. I brought my car to a dealer to have this inspected and they also noticed the noise at 40 mph & above. They did tell me I needed to have my driver's side front wheel bearing replaced, but the clerk said this was not part of the recall I just had checked. So I assume that since my front (not back) wheel bearing is defective, this is a separate issue & hasn't yet been recalled. I set up an appt. To have it repaired on 10/16/07.
