Default Wheel bearing on a 2013 Honda Accord

Hello,

I had my tires rotated by a mechanic about a month ago and I started hearing this clicking noise on the driver's rear side of the car. I decided to take it in today to see what that noise was because it was getting louder, and they discovered that it was a wheel bearing that was loose.

I have never heard of a new car, only two years old, having issues with the wheel bearing; I read on a Honda forum that it's supposed to be a lifetime guarantee that it supposed to work, unless I was involved in an accident or it was not properly installed from Honda.

Has anyone else had this issue before? Im talking to a lawyer about this now because it's obviously the manufacturer's inability to produce reliable vehicles.

Hello, Elle.. welcome to the forum

Was the tire rotation and the bearing inspection done by an independent mechanic? If so, get a 2nd opinion... better still, take the car to a Honda dealership

The warranty on your 9th generation should be for 3 years or 36K miles, therefore the bearing and labor would be covered.

Most any part on any car can be faulty.. be it a Ferrari or a Honda, that doesn't mean that a bad part was installed purposely or that the manufacturer was/is unconcerned about quality. Honda has genuienly earned a reputation for building reliable vehicles
