Wife took my car to Nashville about 3 weeks ago since one of her employees had her company car and of course mine comes back dirty AND with a problem. LOL!
Okay...she didn't cause the problem but it had one nonetheless. Made an appointment to have several items looked at since it should all be covered under my ESP.
Drop it off this morning and got the update call from the adviser in the afternoon. Just as I had suspected another wheel bearing was bad. Throw in a heat core leak that had made itself known several weeks ago also by the smell of antifreeze inside the car. And last but not least, my damn center stack control to turn on/off the climate control is finally going to be replaced once the back order for it is filled. I had the car in at a different dealership about the climate power button not working and they said there was nothing wrong that they could find. Yeah, right. When I picked the car up then it wasn't working just like when I dropped it off. Guess where my car ISN'T this time.
So I'm in a rental truck for the next week min. but at least the ol' girl will be getting some needed attention.
Oh yeah...and they're going to fix a small body panel on the passenger side in between the rear door and wheel. Apparently there's a couple pieces of double sided tape that help hold it on. My didn't hold so much anymore and was popped out slightly.
Now the waiting game...

Replaced BOTH left side wheel bearings, center stack control panel (my climate control power button works again!), fixed the small body panel and replaced the heater core. Car smells badly of antifreeze currently so I hope the smell will go away quickly. The leak was inside the heater/AC box and actually exiting through the AC drain hole so nothing inside thankfully. They didn't exactly leave dash clean though, but I suppose I can give it good wipe down. Consequently, my steering wheel seems to be off...i.e. crooked like a bad alignment where they didn't have the wheel straight when doing the work. I'll just run it up to the tire shop tomorrow since thet're good about squeezing me in for stuff and get that straightened out.
