In may 2014, a roaring sound suddenly started, got worse, & then we had to have the dealer replace a wheel bearing. the sound quietened a little but was still there at all speeds. then, we had to have the dealer replace another wheel bearing a couple of weeks later. in late august 2014, we again heard the noise & had to replace the 3rd wheel bearing. in my 61 years, this is the only car with which i have ever had a defective wheel bearing problem. each time, i am out of pocket nearly $500! i bought this car new and have babied it; there is no reason besides faulty parts to cause this. from reading online, i see a pattern of faulty wheel bearings in nissan maximas. i could overlook 1 bad wheel bearing, but 3???? and now i am worried #4 may be lurking. *tr
