Consumer Description

REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILURE: AT 47,700 MILES AND 4 YEARS 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE OF MY 2012 FIAT 500 (4 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY), THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAS FAILED AND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING IS FAILING. NORMALLY OEM WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD LAST OVER 100,000 MILES. IN MY 50 YEARS DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE IN WHICH THE WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE.
