Why does the ford edge have loud road noise?

Loud road noise from either the front or rear wheels often indicates one or more of the Ford Edge's wheel bearings has gone bad. Grinding noises manifest especially or only at highway speeds. Owners have complained of this issue in forums across the country, detailing failures at 11,000 miles - 85,000 miles. In many cases the wheel assemblies have been replaced twice or more after reachinG85,000 miles of use. Often drivers are able to have the firSTSigns of failure addressed under warranty. In some cases Ford has replaced both the rear suspension arms and the rear wheel bearings. Ford claims faulty suspension arm placement unseats the bearings and causes them to "blow out" or deteriorate.
