Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Front Wheel Bearing Safety Report | Feb 20, 2003
Reported on Feb 20, 2003
| I HAVE HAD BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS GO BAD ON MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM, WITHIN 50,000 MILES. I CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE GM OR MY ATTORNEY GENERAL UNDERSTAND THAT SEALED WHEEL BEARINGS ARE NOT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ITEM. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL AND SINCE MY WARRANTY IS OVER THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. I'M TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THESE PARTS. ONE WOULD THINK THAT THIS COULD BE A COINCIDENCE, BUT I FIND OUT THAT THE SMALL PARTS STORE I USE IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN, HAS THIS BEARING IN STOCK. I'M TOLD THAT THIS BEARING ALSO FITS THE ALERO, AND MALIBU. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT THEY ARE ALWAY CHANGING THESE. SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO VERIFY THAT A SEALED WHEEL BEARING IS NOT A ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE ITEM.*AK | |
