Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles

when driving straight the left wheel has a loud roaring noise and gets louder when the wheel is turned to the left but quietens down when turning to the right. I think this is my last Ford vehicle I will purchase. I also have a flashing security alarm light on dash that never stops flashing when parked ...drives me crazy.

Bought the vehicle new and have had no problems until now. A wheel bearing went on the front left side and I had it replaced for around $450.

Of all the things that could go wrong, a wheel bearing?! Maybe they should work a bit harder on purchasing better parts and stop trying to get me to buy the Kleenex box that fits in the center console!
