Consumer Description

MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP SAFELY, BUT BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AS THEY SHOULD. MOREOVER, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE WHEEL BEARING WAS FAILING, AND I AM QUITE AWARE OF WHAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ON THE LEFT SIDE. I HAVE REPLACED THE RIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY TWICE. IN ALL PREVIOUS TIMES, I HEARD A SLIGHT WHIRLING NOISE OR AT WORSE SLIGHT GRINDING, WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TO INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT BEFORE FAILURE. THIS TIME IT FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BELIEVE GM HAS MADE A SERIOUS DESIGN AND/OR QUALITY ERROR IN THIS TRUCK. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.
