Pontiac Aztek Suspension Front Wheel Bearing Safety Report | Apr 17, 2006
Reported on Apr 17, 2006
| ON APRIL 17, 2006, I BROUGHT MY 2004 AZTEK IN TO THE PONTIAC DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING WAS FAILING, AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE IT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, AT 63,031 MILES, I PAID FOR THIS REPAIR. THEN, ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2006, I HEARD THE SAME NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, AND PAID TO HAVE THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE OUT ON THIS FAILURE, IF THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS OF SERVICE. I DID NOT SEE THIS RECALL NOTICE ON YOUR WEBSITE. I BELIEVE THESE FAILURES COULD HAVE POTENTIAL SEVERE CONSEQUENCES, AND GM SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *NM | |
