wheel bearing failure/wind noise

I recently took my TSX up to the Blue Ridge Mountains and had several problems occur. The week prior to this trip, I took my car in for an oil change (3k miles) and to have the phantom passenger door noise investigated. Of course the dealer did not find anything out of the ordinary with the door and I set off on my trip. Within 100 miles, my driver's door started whistling. My guess is that it needs a new door seal. The problem gets worse...I started hearing a pronounced road noise from the rear axle. When I checked the tire pressure, it was 40psi on every tire (I imagine the dealer does this to all TSX's. I immediately deflated to 32 psi front and 30 psi rear). When I returned to Birmingham, I took it to King Acura and was told after the 1st day in the shop that it was my front right wheel bearing. After replacing they still had the noise and decided to make me wait another day for a rear wheel bearing. It is now the weekend and they are waiting on my 3rd wheel bearing and haven't even looked at the door panels. Someone PLEASE help me understand how a wheel bearning can go out after 4k miles. If the bearings fail, couldn't it cause a problem slingging metal around and hurting the axle spindle? Bearings are not a high tech item and what is the problem with 3 failing??? Should they not also replace the half axle? Something is wrong in Denmark!
