| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bearings in the integral hub/bearing on the right front wheel (steering axle) failed at 247,000 miles. this is a unit designed to last the life of the vehicle, and there is no maintenance possible. this was a very low mileage for such a failure. no accident or injuries were caused by the failure because it was noticed before that could happen, but such a failure could cause a catastrophic accident. we paid approximately $625 for parts, labor, and shipping for a new part. the dealership removed an identical hub from a new truck on the lot and replaced our hub. i doubt they kept the old hub, although they might have. this was at the volvo dealership in vinton, tx, i-10 exit 2 in texas.*ak |
