Consumer Description

ROUGHLY 2 WEEKS AGO, OUR PASSAT STARTING HAVING INCREASED NOISE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, TYPICALLY HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD. IT SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A BAD WHEEL BEARING, PARTICULARLY WITH A SEDAN, GO BAD AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.
