Front left bearing & hub assembly replacement at 31,277 miles. Front right bearing & hub assembly replacement at 49,482 miles. Replace leaking head gasket at 39,931 miles. This car is also on it's 3rd set of tires I'm not getting any reasons why on this either - the dealership where I bought the car told me "tires are like brakes-some just wear out faster than others." I don't know if the hub problems added to the tire wear or not - the wheel actually wobbled on the car before it was repaired. 1st set replaced at about 20,000 miles. 2nd set replaced at about 28,000 miles. I have called Pontiac several times over the last 2 years about car repaires & tire wear. I was told these things are just maintenance! I considered the brake job at 39,931 miles maintenance but not hubs & a head gasket. Also, I have had the car in for heating problems. In very cold weather, you need the blower on high & the heat setting on high - even then, you are still cold. There is alot of outside air coming in the front of the car (not sealed very well)

The right rear hub assembly was defective. The vehicle did not brake affectively. When applying the brakes it continued on.. this was discovered while having the tires replaced, the brakes and hub assembly were examined.
