Consumer Description

SHAKING IN VEHICLE SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN UNBALANCED TIRE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER ISSUE JUST HAD THEM CHECK TO SEE WHAT THIS "NEW" SHAKING WAS AND THEY TOLD ME THE CENTER CARRIER BEARING WAS "SHOT" AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT THIS REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF AROUND $1200 PLUS LABOR. THE SAFETY ISSUES HERE ARE ENORMOUS. IF THE DRIVE SHAFT LETS LOOSE THE VEHICLE COULD FLIP, ROLL, OR ANY NUMBER OF THINGS. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN DONE? I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. IT IS NOT COMMON FOR A CARRIER BEARING TO FAIL ESPECIALLY SO OFTEN AND EARLY. I HAVE 77,000 MILES ON THIS 2005 EQUINOX, WAY TOO SOON FOR SUCH ISSUES. I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH GM. I WILL NEVER BUY GM AGAIN. *TR
