Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A couple months after i bought the car i began to hear a very annoying "howl" coming from the front left corner of the car. soon after the car would vibrate after accelerating to a certain point. i finally couldn't stand driving the car because of the noise so i had it towed back to the dealer. they checked and said that something was wrong with the bearings in the front left tire. for a while, it was fine but now it's starting to do the same thing again a year later in the same location it seems like. i only have 38,000 miles on this car. i don't think it should have recurring problems like this. also, recently i've noticed that it is jumping into gears rather than making a smooth transition like it used to. *la
