| Description of the problem | Wheel bearings failing every 30,000 or so miles. Have had the car in 3 times for new hubs in 4 years. I believe there is a manufacturing design defect in the hubs causing these frequent failures. Contacted hyundai regarding trade in assistance to get me out of this car believing it might be this particular vehicle or the model but they are not interested in providing assistance. Bearing should last 100,000 miles, minimum. *kb |
