I just purchased a brand new '09 1125CR and only put on about 200 miles. I've noticed recently that at about 24-26 mph that there is a definite howling noise coming from the front. It happens when I'm coasting, accelerating, or braking so it is always there at that speed. Typically, whenever I hear this noise in a car it's a wheel bearing. So I guess I'm trying to see if anybody else thinks it's the front bearing? Weird that it would happen so soon. It goes back to the dealer to be looked at this Wednesday. Thanks!

Take off your license plate and then ride it for a short distance to see if that cures your problem.

Licence plate on the front?!
I must be missing something.

FYI I had the same noise coming from what sounded as the front which ended up being the license plate wise azzes.
