  1. Electrical system, Wheels, Engine, Oct 11, 2025

    Coming to a stop I heard a clunking noise from the rear. Took it in to dealership and a replacement of rear wheel bearing was replaced. Driving on the freeway I pressed the deceleration button on the cruise control and the engine shut off but no loss of power to electrical. During take off and slowing I heard a clicking noise returned to dealer and they found the rear wheel to be out of spec.
