I have a 2003 Saturn Vue @51,000 miles both front and back wheel bearings need replacing. I have replaced the front at my expense ($550.77) the back one also needs to be replaced. This can be dangerous not only to myself, any passengers in my vehicle or other motorists.

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue. Since I purchased this vehicle, I have now had 5 wheel bearings replaced, one per wheel and 2 on passenger front side. The first 4 were covered under warranty but the last one cost $410 to have replaced. I complained about the cost and since I had each wheel bearing replaced at the dealership, they only charged me 25% of the cost. Five wheel bearings in 3 years in not a very good record. I would like to have this issue researched because, to me, it seems that it is either a lemon or a recall item.

This was the second time the front and back wheel bearings have been replaced, the Saturn dealer refused to replace them, insisting that the tires were not properly rotated. Went back to Saturn again and said the tires needed to be replaced. Have replaced all four of the tires. Saturn replaced the front two tires themselves. Currently, the bearings E failed again on the front and back. The first time the consumer took vehicle to Saturn for bearing replacement was on August 6, 2003.
