"The steering wheel will vibrate when making a turn, making a whining noise. This is most noticeable when make a full turn onto a road. It is less noticeable while driving in traffic and moving from lane to lane but will occur after a stop followed by a turn. Easiest way to describe it is it sounds like the car needs extra effort to make turns."

Wheel bearings

"Had to replace 3 of the 4 wheel bearings at different times because the ABS magnets fell off the back of the wheel bearing hub assembly. That put the engine in "cripple mode". Other than the ABS magnetic ring falling off, the bearing in the hub assembly was perfectly good! I only have 25,700 miles on the Enclave!! Not happy for a $53,000+ car!!"
