“My husband has a 2005 chevy truck with 30000 miles. I own a 2005 Pontiac Grand Am, both with 45000 miles, both driven for pleasure. I just replaced front and rear brakes. My ABS and no trac light is on. I was told my hub was bad. My husband just replaced a hub on his truck as well, no warranty! I was told by auto zone and the people who work on my car that GM has a bad hub and knows it. I can not afford to replace mine at this time so I have to park the car.”
