I had a Spanish Built Holden Barina that had a similar issue in one of the back wheel bearings. I was pretty much getting the service department to replace the bearings every 6 months for about 2 years. At one point I had to get them to do it in an emergency as the back wheel got so hot there were flames and a melted hubcap. It was at this point that I ranted at them for quite a while so they kept the car for three days and finally worked out that at one point in their servicing (Holden) they had put the wrong sized bearings in and it had stuffed up the whole wheel system so that when they went to put new bearings in they would fall out. They replaced the whole back wheel assembly at that point under service warranty (I started talking about the department of fair trading when I heard this) and promptly gave the car to my folks who have never had any issues.
Cheers,
Simon
