pretty bad
wheels / hubs problem
we have had the wheel hub assembly changed several times since this first time...recall was for 60K miles so we were out of luck . happens every spring? this car has been a lemon if you ask me. we drive on gravel road 1.7 miles every day and that must be enough to bother this vehicle. Do not buy this car !!!!! We have transmission leak now, window drivers side stopped working. Intake gaskets needed replacing.
Do not buy this car!!!!

Had to replace both rear wheel bearings. Also had replaced both front wheel bearings at 45,000 and 47,000 miles. The fronts were covered by a "reimbursement" program from Buick. (They conveniently avoided a recall). I can not believe these failed so quickly. I have driven several vehicles past the 120,000 mark and have never replaced any component of the wheel hub.

This is the 2nd wheel hub failure that I have experienced since owning the vehicle.
The first one occurred at 57,000 miles. In forty years of driving I have never seen
a wheel hub failure occurring with less than 120,000 miles, and that only happened once. If others have incurred similar failures, maybe a recall action should be
pursued with the GM lawyers. At roughly $600 per repair, the company may be
cashing in on defective workmanship.

This vehicle has been had multiple failures. Of course if the wheel hub failure had caused my wheel to fall off at 65 mph I wouldn't be here to gripe. I have put in a complaint with NHTSA but they don't seen to really care about safety as they claim (must be government paid off by GM). I have been to several other sites and have found numerous other complaints about this and other major failures. This is my 3rd GM lemon and will not buy GM again. JD Powers must be out of their minds (or also paid off by GM)!!!!!

This is #6 repair for this same issue. Every 6 months I replace a wheel bearing. This car has been junk since I bought it as this is not the only problem with it.
