“I am going on my fifth wheel bearing replacement on my 2002 Pontiac Aztek. There is a known problem with these and general motors seems to ignore the issue. How many times do I have to replace these so my car is safe to drive. I would like some compensation for all the time and expense I have had with this car. It has cost me 300.00 a bearing, times 5 bearings. What is general motors saying about the problem?”
