Consumer Description

COMING HOME AFTER A NIGHT OF BOWLING WITH A TRUCK FULL OF KIDS. I COULD FEEL AND HEAR A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BRAKES UNTIL I GOT BACK INTO TOWN. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH I COULD I KNEW IT WASN'T MY BRAKES. I TOOK THE FRONT TIRE OFF THE NEXT DAY AND I COULD WIGGLE THE WHEEL HUB BACK AND FORTH. VERY DANGEROUS. I FEEL LUCKY THAT NOBODY GOT HURT. THE ROAD I TRAVELED HOME WAS HWY 32 AND IT HAS ALOT OF CURVES. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. EVERY CHEVY THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. IM A BACK YARD MECHANIC. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE SINGLE MOTHER WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THIS STUFF. SHE'S GOING TO BE LUCKY IF SHE DOESN'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET. KILLED! *TR
