problem #3

May 072001

Stratus

  • miles
As of now, we have had to replace all four wheel bearings. Both front bearings were replaced at approx. 51,000 miles; the right rear bearing was replaced at 64,200 miles; the left rear bearing was just replaced at approx. 67,800 miles. Today, we brought the car back in to the dealer with what we suspect is a problem with the right rear bearing again. It is unusual for a car to need one wheel bearing replaced, never mind all four. We feel that these repeated problems are due to a manufacturer defect and that as such, the manufacturer should be responsible for the replacement of the parts. Any info and/or help you can give us would be greatly appreciated.
