“I keep having my back tires wear out & causes me to have a blow out, thankfully so far it hasn't caused any accidents. I have had my car lined up and they said it wasn't out of line bad enough to cause this issue. Can you help me find out what is causing this issue? It is getting very expensive buying new tires. When the tires go out is during the time I am driving it. I'm including the last date this has happened below, but it has happened 2 times in the past 6 months & a total of 4 times since I have had the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11122485, filed 2018-08, 141,000 miles“A grinding, whining noise developed at about 66,000 miles. Because it was a road noise and I was told by the dealership that I would soon need new tires, I replaced the tires. The noise continued and I went back to the tire dealer who inspected the car and informed me that the driver's side rear wheel bearing needed replacement. I replaced the wheel bearing and no more noise. I was told if I continued driving with that part I would have shortly lost my wheel and the car would have been out of control.”
