Loud Buzzing Noise in the Front? Defective wheel bearing!
I just had to take in my 2006 HCH II in today for a second service visit to the dealer (the first was a week ago when the driver's window came out of its tracking).
I had begun to notice a loud buzzing noise that increased as my car's speed increased, but not with increasing rpms. It sounded almost like a bad muffler, but the noise was coming from the front of the car.
It turns out one of the front wheel's bearings has gone bad, something that should happen only at the end of a car's life, certainly not at 6500 miles. I will have to wait a few days for the part to arrive because the car is a new model. At least I can still drive the car (not a safety issue as yet).
I thought fellow owners would like to know!
