Sierra 3500

  • 69,587 miles
Took my truck in for state safety inspection. I was told that my right front hub & bearing assembly had excessive play. I now have 69,587 miles, at 32,000 miles the same problem arose with the left front hub & bearing assembly which was covered by warranty under GM's 36,000 mile 3 years warranty. This defective hub & bearing assembly just cost me $553.81. This part cannot be lubricated or adjusted. I had some sway when towing my travel trailer and thought it was the roadway, but now I know it was a defective part. What would have happened next" the wheel assembly falling off" or causing an accident. I have been driving for over 45 years and never heard of such a problem. Two front hubs wearing out in such a short time. If this was something that needed lubrication or adjustments I could understand. But nothing an owner can do. I feel this is a safety item that could have caused an accident. By the way I still have the original brakes at 69,000 miles but had two hub bearing assembles go bad!!
