“Experienced a humming and revving sound coming from under right side of the hood. It occurred when accelerating from 35 MPH and would get louder. The sound decreased when decelerating from 35. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a faulty right wheel bearing. Fortunately the vehicle was still under warranty. I did not experience any accidents, hit any pot holes, or curbs prior to this incident. This was completely an unknown cause.”
