Should be covered by the warrantee. However, if it's not the bearing, let's say you have a split tread in a tire that's causing the hum...you'll be fronting the diagnostic fee, and paying for your own repairs. That's what sucks about a warrantee...you gotta be damn sure it's covered before you bring it in, or you will pay...

Thanks, however I just put brand new tires on the car about 2 months ago and the noise just started a week ago and it seems to be getting worst by the week. I checked the tires and they are in great shape. I guess Ill find out this week when I take it to the dealer.

It was the rear wheel bearing and it's covered under the power train warranty.

Got the car back and its quite now however they stated that the left wheel bear is going bad but they can't warranty it until it fails what kind of crap is that they let a customer going know that the other wheel bearing is showing signs of failing but it has to fail first to replace I bet Lexus or Chevy or Ford wouldn't do that they would just fix it?!?!? I got a call into the Service Director lets see what happens!!
