I heard a noise that got louder as you picked up speed(like using a stick against a bicycle tire, the faster you pedal, the louder that sound gets). The ABS, check engine soon, service engine soon and a few other lights kept coming on and dinging and when I put on the brakes or went around a curve, the brake pedal would go down then back up against the pressure I was applying to the brake. Anyway, I took it to the dealer. They said that the wiring harness broke lose and frayed from rubbing the tire. Then when they took the wheel off they found that they had to replace the hub with a kit, replace the bearings, replace the wiring harness and a few other things... Anyway, the whole repair with labor was $746.40. I have had 8 cars in my lifetime and never had this many problems? I just wonder what caused this to happen.
