problem #2

Mar 142005

Jimmy 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,000 miles
Vehicle started making loud noises when turning wheel to left, but because the vehicle wanted to pull to the right, the wheel was almost always turned to the left. Thought it was a problem with the alignment, but after I hit a deer, my vehicle was taken in for body repairs and they informed me that the problem was with my hubs and wheel bearings on both sides of the vehicle and that I was very lucky to have hit the deer because my tires would have likely fallen off very soon. I have read many stories on this site almost exactly like mine. GM needs to do something about this as my car has always been well maintained and there is no reason this should have happened so soon.

While driving 20 mph driver heard a loud noise coming from the front. Then noticed that both frontal wheel hubs fell off the wheel. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the hubs needed to be replaced, and replaced them.. however, the problem recurred. The noise was on the front passenger side.
