Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Back in june 2005 i observed a significant "rubbing" noise coming from the front end of my 2005 toyota tacoma. upon taking the vehicle to the dealership for warranty repair i was informed that the left front wheel bearing was bad. on october 24th 2005 i returned to the dealer experiencing a similar "rubbing" noise and was told on this occasion that both the left and right front bearings had failed. this vehicle only has 20 thousand miles on it. i was informed that they must be poorly manufactured bearings. i'm concerned that this may be an ongoing problem as well as a safety issue. *jb
