Ditto on this. I had the same whining noise while coasting. Prepared myself for the worst and began reading this thread. I remembered noticing that my right front tire seemed low on air yesterday so first thing today I would check air pressure and fill if necessary. This morning I walked to the truck only to notice the tire was flat! Got my neighbor to pull my full spare out of my basement and Auto Club did the rest. Now no more whining.. at least from the VX. ;Dr;
