    I am having an issue with my wheel bearing and there is a recall 270760 and my vin # was not on the list. My car was running perfectly fine and then when i got new tires, they told me that my wheel bearings were weak. In the beginning, before i got my tires, the car started vibrating and grinding. When i took it to the auto repair to look at it, they told me that it may be the tires, which i did needed to replace.…

    Had been noticing loud roaring sound from right rear of vehicle. Drove from ohio to florida (1,000 miles) & got worse/louder... Took it to local ford mechanic who informed known issue in these cars is the rear wheel hub assembly fails, once replaced just fails again. Noise is incredibly noticeable and not just annoying but scary to me & any passengers. Obviously a manufacturer's defect, ticked ford's not covering…

    While driving my 2008 ford edge, a roaring type noise comes from the rear of the unit. As you accelerate to noise grows in volume. At first it appeared to me as "road noise" i changed pressures in the tires and rotated the front to the rear. Nothing changes. After researching the problem, it appears that it is the rear wheel bearings. According to ford the bearing hub and the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle…

    When i start driving i hear a roaring sound coming from the rear of the car and it gets louder the faster i go. It also is louder when making a left hand corner and less when making a right hand corner. I have not taken it into the dealer yet but am planning within the next week. I thought at first it was my tires but i just purchased new ones about 2 months ago and it did not stop the problem. *tr
