Unhappy incorrect repair performed?

I have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous, automatic, with 33,000 miles on it. Recently, the "AWD Disable" and "AntiLock" lights kept coming on and staying on. Yesterday I took it to my Buick dealer and was told it was the left rear hub bearing, and would cost $451 to fix. I had it fixed, drove it home, and guess what! Today, the same lights are coming on. I'm supposed to take it back tomorrow, but I have to wonder if I had an unnecessary and expensive repair performed. Now, I'm wondering if it's something inexpensive which they'll fix, but I'll still be stuck with the $451 bill I paid.

From the little I've read, it seems like problems with the wheel hub generally make noise, so that also makes me wonder if this was truly the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? Do you think I was taken? Thanks a lot!! Sure, talk to the Service MGR and ask him to either refund the money for an ineffective repair/diagnosis or fix it for free, I'd stop payment for now.

Re: incorrect repair performed?

Assuming it isn't something like tire pressure that caused lights to come on, I would guess there is bad connection (loose/corroded) to the hub/bearing assembly. I have seen quite a few cases of this. If the bearing was bad it would make noise, but the sensor could have been bad also and no noise from that.
