| Description of the problem | My 2008 dodge grand caravan at 60,000 miles is already needing the front wheel bearings replaced. I can see online that several people are having the same problem. One other owner reports comparing the bearings that were originally on the vehicle to the replacement part and noting that the replacement part is notably better made. This angers me in that it is not the only problem i've had with this newer vehicle. I'm not sure what type of safety hazard this creates, but i cannot afford $500 to replace it, after having just spent $500 to replace the brakes. I feel that dodge should honor replacing the wheel bearings as a vehicle recall! |
