Clunking noise driver side back tire

Post by lor444 »

Ever since I took my car into the dealer for an unrelated problem (transmitter for key FoB replaced) I've had this clunking in the rear driver side wheel....mainly on stopping . I also felt the tire rim and it seemed really hot compared to the others which were not hot at all...any suggestions?? Not wanting to take it to my dealer because everytime I take it in there I come out with the same problems plus a few more.

does it sound or feel like a brake problem? stuck brake would definitely heat things up. thats my only idea...

does sound like a brake problem. What year and model of Vibe do you have? Is it still under warranty?

Is youe e-brake releasing properly? Mine sticks every now and then when the car sits for a day or two or when it's really cold.
