Consumer Description

I am currently at 57,110 miles and I noticed a whining noise coming from the front of my car while driving with the window down on June 5, 2022. It’s as if it’s coming from the wheel bearing or front axle. I also noticed today that my car had a kick to it, like a horse galloping. This seems to be very mysterious as I just took my car to a Toyota dealership at the end of April and they reported absolutely no issues. I’m afraid that my power train/transmission may be going bad, which would be very very awful as my car hasn’t even reached 60,000 miles yet.
