“My 2005 Gmc 2500 hd, has 154,000 miles now and I have had to change out the front hub bearings 3 times. I do not know why they keep going bad. My dealership tells me it is because I have a lift and oversized tires on truck, but all my trucks have had lifts and over sized tires and I have never had any problems like this before.”

NHTSA complaint #10257793, filed 2009-02, 86,000 miles“Driving on interstate 85 tire blew due to highway road and faulty wheel hub, steering capability , suspension on the truck. It spilt the bumper and shattered mirror and hit my arm. I almost lost total control of the truck it did a lot of damage. The front ends on these trucks have been nothing but a headache to a lot of people. They don't last due to cheap parts I assume. Thanks for your time.”
