| Description of the problem | I had the front wheel bearings and hubs replaced at 65,000 miles on my 2004 kia sedona under warranty due to play in the hub. Last month during a brake inspection i was informed that they are bad again the vehicle now has 106,000 miles. This is a potential hazard as when they fail completely the wheel will fall off potentially causing a serious accident. I believe this to be a design flaw since this only vehicle i have owned in 30 years that needed bearings replaced even once much less twice in 100,000 miles. Just to let you know the rear bearing were replaced twice already under warranty one time under a recall and another time as a result of another brake inspection. |
