There is a grinding or humming noise coming from the wheels. Had it checked out but not certain what's causing the problem. May be the tires.

One week after the serpantine and idler arm was replaced under warranty, the front left wheel bearing gave out not under warranty, and i replaced it, now the other one needs replaced and the ball joints need replaced for inspection. after all that. it sets because the reverse went out of it. all this happened and still 2 years of payments left!!!!!!!!!!

On top of all the other problems, when I turn the wheels there's a grinding from my tires. I went to a shop they tell me that its normal. How's that normal? I've never heard another car make that sound - the whole damn suv is falling apart
