Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2003 Gmc yukon xl which both front wheel bearings failed at the same time at ~51,280 miles. These are sealed bearings that were supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. I was able to avoid a catastrophic failure by replacing both front wheel bearing assemblies, $692.49, when I heard the bearing grinding noise. The mechanic at the GM dealer told me he replaces the bearing assemblies on two to three vehicles a week.”
