“The rear wheel bearings had to be replaced after making a very loud noise when the car was in motion, worsening with speed. They have had to be replaced twice since then and that was just over 6 months ago! The mechanic informed us that there does not appear to be anything wrong that would cause them to keep wearing out.”
