NHTSA complaint #10030767, filed 2003-08, 543 miles“Vehicle started making loud noises when turning wheel to left, but because the vehicle wanted to pull to the right, the wheel was almost always turned to the left. Thought it was a problem with the alignment, but after I hit a deer, my vehicle was taken in for body repairs and they informed me that the problem was with my hubs and wheel bearings on both sides of the vehicle and that I was very lucky to have hit the deer because my tires would have likely fallen off very soon. I have read many stories on this site almost exactly like mine. …”
