ON THE GRAND PRIX BEARINGS AND OTHER COMPONENTS ACTUALLY FELL OUT OF THE RACK ASSEMBLY ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE GRAND PRIX WAS PURCHASED USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 62,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES?*AK | |
