Consumer Description

AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AND STARTING THE DRIVE, A GRINDING/SQUEALING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THIS SOUND CONTINUED UNTIL THE VEHICLE COULD BE PARKED AND TAKEN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT (PARKED WITHIN 1 MILE OF ORIGINAL STARTING POINT). THE REPAIR SHOP DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO A FAILED WHEEL BEARING. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH A PREVIOUSLY WORKED ON TOYOTA PRERUNNER WHERE THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT THE DRIVER CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AFTER THE WHEEL BECAME COCKED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS ON THE ROAD. *TT
