“Recently, while driving down the highway, my 2004 Lexus RX 330 started making a howling sound (for lack of a better description). Upon hearing this disturbing noise, I immediately drove it right to my local dealership (ira) in peabody, massachusetts. They determined it was the bearing and hub assembly in my left rear wheel. I was told this is a very dangerous condition that must be repaired immediately. This ended up costing me $676.87 (11/14/14). This isn?t the first time this has happened with this car. It happened march 3, 2011 and it cost me $704.35 then. …”
