Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED A 2005 PT CRUISER FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS AND IT HAS ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT BOTH THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST 565.00. FROM WHAT I AM READING,THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND MAYBE SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL!! THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT FOUND AND CORRECTED. ONE OF MINE WASN'T EVEN MAKING ANY NOISE BUT THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF PLAY IN THE TIRE. VERY DANGEROUS!
