| Description of the problem | This will now be the 5th time we have replaced a ball bearing in this [xxx] truck ... The front driver twice the front passenger once and now this is the second time for the back driver! This is horrible! There has to be more of an issue then just that if it keeps happening! I will be contacting mercury and i pray something gets done! This is not a cheap fix either! And when it happens it is like the tire is about to fall off it would if there weren't lug nuts on it! By far the worst suv i have had! 1000s of dollars to fix it and it just keeps happening why and why hasn't there been a recall on this?? |
