It's my wife's car and every time I got in it I told her that loud noise can't be right. You could hardly hear the radio at regular volume. She uses it for short trips to the store and back. If you took it on a long trip you would lose your mind. We leased it 12/29/14 and don't really remember the start of the loud noise but it's been at least since spring of 2016 if not earlier. I took it in for 2 new tires (11/26/16) and the guys at Flynn tire told us the wheel bearing was bad. The one mechanic said his daughter had the same car with the same problem. I called the dealership and made an appointment for this Thursday 12/1/16. The service people told us that wheel bearings are covered for 5 years or 60,000.00 miles. I'm hoping the repair cost us nothing.
