Howling noise
I get a howling noise when I hit 40mph or higher, anyone have any idea what it could be. I have a 2010 with 2.2 motor and 3400 mile on it, thanks in advance for any help.

Hard to tell with limited info but with only 3400 miles, take it back to the dealer of your choice.

Thank you for answering a question I hadn't asked yet, were these the factory crossbars? I figured they made noise but not many people have them so I wasn't sure.

Mine was a wheel bearing, but I doubt that would be the case with yours as its so new.

I had a Toyota that had a bad rear wheel bearing at less than 2,000 miles. Some are apparently just bad 'out of the box'!
