| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: All 4 of my wheel bearings went bad before 60,000 miles, i received a letter from buick stating they are offering an extended warranty for the front wheel bearings up to 60,000 miles. this problem was not diagnosed until i had 63,000 miles, though 4 months ago when i asked my mechanic about the load noise coming from my vehicle i was told it was from my new tires and i just needed to wear the tread and the noise would stop. it got worse and i brought the vehicle to 3 mechanics. the first 2 both said it is almost impossible for even 1 wheel bearing to go bad with this little of miles and they could not explain how all my wheel bearings could be shot. they stated when i asked about the noise 4 months ago it is most likely this would not have been diagnosed because no one would have even considered wheel bearings problems in a vehicle this new. one of the mechanics shook my tire in front of me a half an inch, stating "this is a huge safety issue". the letter i received from buick claimed this was not recalled because it did not pose a safety concern. i did have the front 2 recently replaced and the dealer/buick paid for half the cost, but refused to pay for the rear wheel bearings because that was not an issue on the letter i received. i researched online and found this was reported on a news station and over 272,000 people are affected by this. *tr |
