Buick Envision persistent left front noise suspected to be bad CV joint or wheel bearing despite multiple dealership visits on Buick Envision

Problem overview

Some Buick Envision owners report experiencing persistent noise in the left front of their vehicle, which may be related to a bad CV joint or wheel bearing. Symptoms of a failing CV joint can include a low humming noise, vibrations during acceleration or coasting, and a pronounced clicking noise during tight turns at low speeds. If the clicking noise is evident, it could indicate issues with the outer CV joint, requiring repair. Additionally, wheel bearing problems can also manifest as noise from the front of the car, raising significant concerns for drivers. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, and despite multiple dealership visits, some owners find it beneficial to seek a second opinion from an independent mechanic specializing in drivetrain and suspension components. Clear communication about the issue's history can aid in the diagnosis process. Understanding these potential causes can help owners take preventive measures to avoid similar issues in the future.
