The tire rotation hum, which sounds like the repeated "Nia" sound in PennsylvaNIA, is similar to what a shifted steel belt might make, and is growing more noticeable. I traded a 2010 Honda Crosstour (33000 miles), WHICH HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2012 CROSSTOUR I now own. I have not yet brought this problem to the dealer's attention because I'm sure it will be involve, as did the 2010 Crosstour, a test ride, tire check, perhaps the replacment of a wheel bearing, and repeat visits - all of which resolved nothing. Having the same problem occur with my 2012 Crosstour, a "twin" in almost every respect of the 2012 model, causes me to think that there must be a common underlying problem.
Are there other Crosstour owners experiencing the same problem? Has Honda determined a cause... perhaps the Dunlop tires? the 4WD system? faulty wheel bearings?
Should I once more attempt the bring-the-problem-to-the-dealer route? Any help would be appreciated.
